lyrics

GONE
Ola Onabule © 2001

You gotta go while its gotta be good to be gone
You gotta be where to be gone is good
You gotta roll when they say its game on

You gotta run where the races are ran to be won
And if you leave while the left ain't so big
You’ll be long gone, so long

So you find yourself jamming in a dump like this one
Consider it might be cos you’ve played your whole life wrong
There so much you could have kissed to get to be someone
Don’t you think its time to swallow all that pride and be gone

Gotta be gone, far and long gone
gotta get going
Gotta move on, better push on, you wanna get on

Should'a been real strong
Should'a said so long
You, should'a kept moving
Could'a been done, you could'a been gone, If only you’d been trying to be strong!!!

Hasn’t done you any good to keep turning up here
When your future could be shinning much brighter elsewhere
And if I had your gift I would gotta the hell outta here
Come to think of it my whole life's been...
wish I were gone
