I heard the door slam and I couldn't tell
Was it just the wind or was she mad again
Oh hel,l she's getting in her car
I hollered baby, is there something wrong? 
Thought I heard her say something sounded like 'I'm gone'
But these days gone can mean so many things

Well, there's gone for good and there's good and gone
Then there's gone with the long before it
I wish she'd been just a little more clear
There's gone for the day and gone for the night
Gone for the rest of your dog-gone life
Is it whiskey night or just a couple of beers
I mean what kinda gone are we talking 'bout here?

Well, it's getting dark out, she ain't back yet
Ain't called home, turned off the phone
Oh man, that this might not be good
I would have stopped her when she went to leave
But I didn't 'cause I didn't really think what I'm thinking now
I'm still not sure what gone is all about

'Cause there's gone for good and there's good and gone
And there's gone with the long before it
I wish she'd been just a little more clear
There's gone for the day and gone for the night
And gone for the rest of your dog-gone life
Is it whiskey night or just a couple of beers
I mean what kinda gone are we talking 'bout here?

Is it the kinda gone where she's at her moms
Cooling down she'll come around
Or the kind that says you had your chance
And she ain't coming back

Well, there's gone for good and there's good and gone
And there’s gone with the long before it
I wish she'd been just a little more clear
There's gone for the day and gone for the night
Gone for the rest of your dog-gone life
Is it whiskey night or just a couple of beers
I mean what kinda gone are we talking 'bout?
What kinda gone are we talking 'bout?
What kinda gone are we talking 'bout here?
What kinda gone
