Cat in a train ditch, caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head
He's gone
He's gone
Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile
Nine-mile skid on a ten-mile ride
Hot as a pistol but cold inside
Now he's gone
Now he's gone
Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothing's gonna bring him back
Going where the wind don't blow so strange
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
I lost one round but the price wasn't anything
A knife in the back and all the same
Cat in a train ditch, caught on a limb
I know better but you know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head
Now he's gone
Now he's gone
Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone
Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive
Rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive
Rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone
This next one's dedicated to the state of Texas, wherever you are
