Gone Like The Water

A red suitcase she'll never miss A leather coat he used to wear Thinking tough, looking tired With momma's money and daddy's ring He's gone like the water down to NYC Sleeping on the 802 Along this river, running down He's gone like the water down The deep hole drain Disappearing in the city Twenty four and growing pale Growing up, coming back Drew a face on the ticket stub With mamma's hands, and daddy's pen He's gone like the water down to NYC Sleeping on the 802 Along this river, running down He's gone like the water down The deep hole drain Disappearing in the city Talk all night, cook all day Looking for a new place to stay Thinking hard, looking bad With mama's dollar in daddy's coat He's gone like the water down to NYC Sleeping on the 802 Along this river, running down He's gone like the water down The deep hole drain Disappearing in the city
