Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks
Some starting over money that I've been holding back
A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long
A one-way ticket saying good-bye to everything
Threw my wedding band out the window of the train
All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name
I'm moving on because I'm gone
You can tell the truth or you can lie
You can say I left you or I died
Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest
And could spend years looking for the light
Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I
Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home
You can say what you choose, but I tell you the truth
You can say for sure I'm gone, because I'm gone
verse 2
You think that you're above me, like I'm not good enough
You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved
You're selfish, vain and greedy; you're hateful, rude and rough
And you're so wrong
But you'd rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain
Than separate and have me taking half of everything
Well, I'm leaving your possessions, left on the good-bye train
Left you alone because I'm gone
You can have the house, the car, the boat
My records, books and stereo
The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back
My doll collection and my clothes
You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den
And the fluffy pillows you sleep on
But when you lay your head on that big feather bed
You can rest assured I'll be gone; I'll be gone
You can tell the truth or you can lie
You can say I left you or I died
Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest
And could spend years looking for the light
Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I
Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home
You can say what you choose, but I tell you the truth
You can say for sure I'm gone, because I'm gone
