From: Bobert

Well, I generally don't listen to country music but...

Okay, my tape player is broken and I was flippin' thru the stations and came on this song... I think it's called "Gone" 'er "She's Gone"...

There's this line abnout a 59 Cadillac and this chiorus which seems like he's siongin just the word "gone"...

Anyone heard this song and know who does it???

Montgomery Gentry's "Gone," written by Al Anderson and Jeffrey Steele. Click here for the lyrics.

It is so sad what country music has degenerated to!

There's another "Gone" by John Hiatt, which is obviously not the one you're looking for, but is well worth listening to:

Gone like my last paycheck gone gone away
Gone like the car I wrecked gone gone away
Gone like a fifth of gin gone gone away
Gone like the shape I'm in gone gone away
My baby's gone away

Gone like a Nixon file gone gone away
Gone like my landlord smile gone gone away
Gone like the furniture gone gone away
Gone like the rest of her gone gone away
My baby's gone away

Don't like the silhouette there by the bed where she undressed
Don't like the candlelight where we made love so sweet and bright
Don't like the one last turn she took before in Little Burn
Don't like everything I learned gone gone away

Gone like my last paycheck gone gone away
Gone like the car I wrecked gone gone away
Gone like a fifth of gin gone gone away
Gone like the shape I'm in gone gone away
My baby's gone away.

I don't think all country music has degenerated, especially when there are still writers like John Hiatt still around pushing it forward.

Now THAT.. is perhaps one of the finest songs of forlorn lost love ever recorded. He sings it with such pain in his voice. Ahh.. Ferlin Husky. One of my faves. Any Mudcatters in southern California long to sing duets of songs like that with me? PM me. I have nobody to play music with. The locals I know all Filk instead of Folk.

GONE
Ferlin Husky


Since you've gone
the moon,
the sun,
the stars in the sky
know the reason why I cry
Love divine
once was mine;
now you've gone.

Since you've gone
my heart,
my lips,
my tear-dimmed eyes,
a lonely soul within me cries.
I acted smart,
broke your heart;
now you've gone.

Oh, what I'd give for the lifetime I've wasted.
The love that I've tasted.
I was wrong;
now you've gone

instrumental break


Oh, what I'd give for the lifetime I've wasted.
The love that I've tasted.
I was wrong;
now you've gone
