Gone Like The Water Lyrics - Live At Mccabe's Guitar Shop - Freedy Johnston

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
