He's gone Lyrics

He's gone Lyrics

Sally was the apple of Johnny's eye
Johnny had ramblin' on his mind
She'd called his house late one night
Almost died when she got the reply

He's gone, he ran
Gonna join a travelin' band
Gonna sing for sold-out shows
He's gone, ain't comin' home

Now Sally had to walk to school all alone
Go to work, come straight home
Spend all day trying not to weep
Every night she cries herself to sleep

(CHORUS)

Well it was out in St. Louis
Johnny hit GOLD
Record man said "Your song is sold"
All over the country they did roam
But he thought about a love that he'd left at home

He sent a proposal in a sealed envelope
Said they'd run away and elope
He went to the mailbox with a gleam in his eye
Almost died when he got the reply

She's gone, she ran
Gonna join a travelin' band
Gonna sing for sold-out shows
She's gone, ain't comin' home
