Gone Going

[00:04.85] Johnny want to be a big star
[00:06.88] Get on stage and play the guitar
[00:09.13] Make a little money, buy a fancy car
[00:11.62] Big old house and an alligator
[00:14.03] Just to match with them alligator shoes
[00:16.58] He's a rich man so he's no longer singing the blues
[00:19.63] He's singing songs about material things
[00:21.80] And platinum rings and watches that go bling
[00:24.02] But, diamonds don't bling in the dark
[00:26.43] He a star now, but he ain't singing from the heart
[00:29.28] Sooner or later he's just gonna fall apart
[00:31.27] 'Cause his fans can't relate to his new found art
[00:34.15] He ain't doing what he did from the start
[00:36.70] And that's putting in some feeling and thought
[00:39.14] He decided to live his life shallow
[00:41.07] Cash in his love for material
[00:43.26] And it's gone, gone, going
[00:45.75] Gone, everything gone, give a damn
[00:49.33] Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing
[00:52.75] Gone people, up awkward with their things, gone
[00:59.79]
[01:03.84] You see yourself in the mirror
[01:05.20] And you feel safe 'cause it looks familiar
[01:07.66] But you afraid to open up your soul
[01:10.07] 'Cause you don't really know, don't really know
[01:12.41] Who is, the person that's deep within
[01:14.98] 'Cause you are content with just being the name brand man
[01:17.45] And you fail to see that its trivial
[01:20.02] Insignificant, you addicted to material
[01:23.23] I've seen your kind before
[01:24.61] Your the type that thinks souls is sold in a store
[01:27.97] Packaged up with incense sticks
[01:29.59] With them vegetarian meals
[01:30.99] To you that's righteous
[01:32.99] You're fiction like books
[01:34.52] You need to go out to life and look
[01:36.63] 'Cause, what happens when they take your material
[01:39.38] And you already sold your soul
[01:41.35] And it's gone, gone, going
[01:43.84] Gone, everything gone, give a damn
[01:47.50] Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing
[01:50.99] Gone people, up awkward with their things, gone
[01:58.44]
[02:00.82] You say that time is money and money is time
[02:03.48] So you got mind in your money and your money on your mind
[02:05.75] But what about, that crime that you did to get paid
[02:08.12] And what about, that bid, you can't take it to your brain
[02:11.11] Why you on about those shoes you'll wear today?
[02:14.72] They'll do no good on the bridges you've walked along the way
[02:20.39] All that money that you got gon' be gone
[02:22.87] That gear that you rock gon' be gone
[02:25.35] The house up on the hill gon' be gone
[02:27.45] The gold, on your grill gon' be gone
[02:30.11] The ice on your wrist gon' be gone
[02:32.45] That nice little Miss gon' be gone
[02:35.00] That whip that you roll gon' be gone
[02:37.29] And what's worst is your soul already gone
[02:39.66] And it's gone, gone, going
[02:42.08] Gone, everything gone, give a damn
[02:45.64] Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing
[02:49.18] Gone people, up awkward with their things, gone
[02:59.60]
