Last night a
coyote howled in
the meadow |
|
And a train
whistle echoed
down the hill |
|
There was a
rustling in the
leaves that
stirred up my
memories |
|
They played me
that old traveling
song |
|
And I wished
that I was Already
Gone |
|

This morning
geese flew low
past my window |
|
They were
winging their way
to the south |
|
They did not
have much to say
but they pointed
out the way |
|
They showed me
deep snow won't be
long |
|
And I wished
that I was Already
Gone |
|
|
bridge |
I don't want to
spend another
winter-without-end |
|
Here in this
northern prairie
town |
|
It's warm down
Tucson way. I
think I'll head on
out today |
|
Next year maybe,
I'll be back
around |
|
Next year,
I'll be back
around |

There's a tear
in your eye as you
watch me |
|
Stuff my clothes
in a dirty duffle
bag |
|
There's a fire
in your kiss that
I know I'm gonna
miss |
|
But this
rambler's gotta
keep moving on |
|
And I wish that
I was Already
Gone |
|

Yeah, this
rambler's gotta
keep moving on |

And I wish that
I was Already
Gone |
