This ain't no temporary, typical, tearful good-bye, uh uh uh 
This ain't no breakin' up and wakin' up and makin' up one more time, uh uh uh 
This is gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone 

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday 
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang 
Gone like a '59 Cadillac 
Like all the good things that ain't never coming back 
She's gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone, she's gone 

This ain't no give it time, I'm hurtin' but maybe we can work it out, uh uh uh 
Won't be no champagne, red rose, romance, second chance, uh uh uh 
This is gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone 

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday 
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang 
Gone like a '59 Cadillac 
Like all the good things that ain't never coming back 
She's gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone 
She's gone 

She's gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone, she's gone 

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday 
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang 
Gone like a '59 Cadillac 
Like all the good things that ain't never coming back 
She's gone (gone) she's gone (gone) she's gone (gone) she's gone 
She's gone 

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday 
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang 
Gone like a '59 Cadillac 
Like all the good things 
Well, she's gone 

Long gone, done me wrong 
Never comin' back, my baby's gone 
Lonely at home, sittin' all alone 
She's packed her bags and now she's gone 
Never comin' back, she's gone 
No no never, no no never, no never comin' back
