Good As Gone Lyrics & Chords By Swear And Shake

I left New York City and its winter sting
I woke up hours later to a Carolina spring
The snow on the streets had turned to blue-green grass
It had been a little while since I'd seen anything like that
Well, soon enough you realize all the things you've lost
A dream for a dream, and that's exactly what it costs
The hearth of a home, you trade it for the road
The light of a lover, it all goes to the show
Don't go
I can't stay, little darling
When I make a plan, I take it to the bottom
Don't go
I can't stay, little missy
I made a plan to cross the Mississippi
Don't go
Can't you see I'm good as gone?
It stays on my conscience with each new passing town
The death in my family that I won't see to the ground
But the memory of a man and all for which he stood
There's many things I left that no one ever should
Don't go
I can't stay, don't you get it?
When I make a plan, it's hard to forget it
Don't go
I can't stay, that's for certain
You don't need to hurt me, I'm already hurting
Don't go
Can't you see I'm good as gone?
You can leave, but don't come back
You can leave, but don't come back
You can leave, but don't come back
Don't let the Verrazano slam you on the way out, boy
You're gonna be the death of me
It's better than being half alive in New York City
Don't go
I can't stay, little vixen
I made a plan to cross the Mason-Dixon
Don't go
I can't stay, don't you get it?
When I make a plan, it's hard to forget it
Don't go
Can't you see I'm good as gone?
