Left And Gone - Gates & Goodell - original
Left And Gone, from our 2007 CD "Can Life Be So Simple" is our eigth "original rehearsal rough" video. John & Bill get together for 5-6 hours most weeks to snack, practice originals, maybe WRITE originals, and maybe learn a cover or two. Often we decide to shoot a quick "rough" video for posterity! Look for the studio version of this one in the "music videos" section here, or on pretty much all streaming platforms!
John Gates - Taylor 514ce, guitar and lead vocals
Bill Goodell - Collings MT, mandolin and harmony vocals
Written by John Gates
Arranged by Gates & Goodell
One way road from her house.
She hates everything she owns.
It'd be so easy if she could just break away from her old man,
who's all but left and gone... left and gone.
Co-dependents, too many pills.
Not making the bed and not paying the bills,
and it'd be so easy if she could just break away from her old man,
who's all but left and gone... left and gone.
She thinks about ending it all...
no kids to feed and no mother to call.
and it'd be so easy if she could just break away from her old man,
who's all but left and gone... left and gone...
She dreams that she's a bird flying over the hills...
green fields with dafodils,
and she's free, she's free, she's free... she's free... left and gone...
left and gone... left and gone... left and gone.
