Going Going

[Verse 1]
Some days you'd find us inside with the lantern on
Blood on the doorstep, armor of God
Eyes to the savior, the gun in my pocket
Waiting for morning to come

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on down and get me
Come on down and get me

[Chorus]
When you're gone, you're gone
I can tell you'd always run
Now you're gone, gone, gone

[Verse 2]
Black folks who dance, we were glad, on a tightrope
The women who loved me whipped me with switches
Out in them ditches, dodging tornadoes
Hoping the cavalry come

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on down and get me
Oh, come on down and get me
Oh, just come on down and get me

[Chorus]
When you're gone, you're gone
I can tell you'd always run
Now you're gone, gone, gone

[Verse 3]
On a base far away
I'm where it's hot in the morning sun
There's a sense that I am still with the men and the pews
Beneath Plymouth Rock

[Outro]
And you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, oh, you're gone
And you're gone, gone, gone
Yee
