Gone Away - Joe George

I see the face of peace on the horizon Rising in the east But it only took one moment Just one moment Now we got battle scars And freedom feels so far away Tyranny was meant to be All that remains is an unfinished symphony He was so in love with chaos, I could never see Good things don't happen to heroes just like you and me It only took one moment (one) Just one moment (one) These adventures are a gift And we will never drift away The thing I built this nation for Doesn't exist anymore Gone away It only took one moment Just one moment Our life and liberty And pursuit of victory gone away The thing I built this nation for Doesn't exist anymore Gone away

Gone away, put up yo lighter fi yo friends dem weh past away Gone away, Yo deh yah so today then tomorrow yo gone away Gone away, Mi feel it fi yuh cause wi just a reason wa day Gone away, gone away Must asleep, somebody waking Dan wid the joke tell mi seh a play thing But me cry when mi si yo dead body Lydown in a coffin and a go down in a grave Mi really waan fi know a weh yo gone Miss you but mi haffi carry on Me wish RIP, mean return if possible But mi know that cyaa gwaan Mi ask why (Repeat) Mount a plans weh yo done meck That's why it really hurt mi heart Yo seh yo don't even get yo son yet Look how wi plan a bag a things weh wi soon do But it's like seh da soon deh cyaa come yet Mi wonder when mi a go si yo back A could a just in a mi dreams mi no care if it's even that Right yah now mi lose mi faith in a the church Cause mi cyaa understand how a God fi allowed that (Repeat 2X)

Me and the bottle Have always been friends Oh, we've had a few ol' nasty fights But the bottle would always win And when I go to answer that final curtain call I can hear these words bein' whispered by all. Chorus: Ol' George stopped drinkin' today They're all gonna gather round me Lord, I wish they could hear me say No more income taxes No more bills to pay Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today. Down in Mississippi The highway patrol Will read it in the paper And say, God Rest his soul No more will he wobble Down life's highway 'Cause George stopped drinkin today. They'll say he had a problem Dealing with his mind He just couldn't seem to make it Anywhere on time But when the roll is called up yonder And heaven I know You can bet the Possum is gonna show. Chorus: Ol' George stopped drinkin' today They're all gonna gather round me Lord I wish they could hear me say No more income taxes No more bills to pay Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today. Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today...
