Gone- Chris Cagle

I really like this new country song. And I have a feeling that it's probably a sentiment my husband will be echoing quite a bit. Once he's home at least. Because it doesn't do much good to make a big show of leaving the house to leave him when he's hundreds or thousands of miles away. My mother predicts some knock down drag out fights, once we are living in the same house and I don't exactly doubt her. Then again, in the wisdom of my grandmother, "You don't really love someone unless you can fight with them." I'm sure our grandchildren will have fun telling their own versions of stories that end like the ones I tell about my grandparents, with dented cans and screen doors, with broken plaster fake fruit, with LTDs stuck on the mailbox pole and $600 microwaves---- stories of things that they never saw happen but that have since become family lore. (And yes, BT, since I wrote 'our grandchildren' that means that I haven't thrown all your stuff out or sold it and I haven't filed any papers. Though I'm still pissed and not feeling very trusting right now.)

Gone- Chris Cagle
I heard the door slam and i couldn't tell
was it just the wind or was she mad again
- ah hell
she's gettin in her car
i hollered baby is there something wrong
thought i heard her say something sounding like i'm gone
but these days gone can mean so many things.

chorus: theres gone for good
and theres good and gone
and theres gone with the long before it
i wish she'd been just a little more clear
well theres gone for the day and gone for the night
and gone for the rest of your dog gone life
is it whiskey night or just a couple beers [<---love that line!]
i mean what kind of gone are we talkin bout here

well its gettin dark out, she ain't back yet
ain't called home, turned off the phone
ah man
hah this might not be good
i would have stopped her, when she went to leave
but i didn't 'cause i didn't really think what i'm thinkin now
i'm still not sure what gone is all about

chorus:theres gone for good and theres good and gone
and theres gone with the long before it
i wish she'd been just a little more clear
well theres gone for the day and gone for the night
and gone for the rest of your dog gone life
is it whiskey night or just a couple beers
i mean what kind of gone are we talkin bout here

is it the kind of gone where she's at her mom's cooling down
she'll come around
or the kind that says you had your chance and she ain't comin back

chorus: theres gone for good and theres good and gone
and theres gone with the long before it
i wish she'd been just a little more clear
well theres gone for the day and gone for the night
and gone for the rest of your dog gone life
is it whiskey night or just a couple beers
i mean what kind of gone are we talkin bout
what kinda gone are we talkin bout
what kinda gone are we talkin bout here
what kinda gone
