He’s been coming home after dark each day
Long day at the office, and he had to work late
But the whiskey breath and perfume on his shirt
Says he’s been out doing a whole ‘nother kind of work
He was last seen out on a Friday night
At the local bar, but now he’s out of sight
Pre-Chorus:
Now he’s gone
He’s gone
Chorus:
Yeah he’s gone like the clouds that used to fill my sky
Gone like the last tear drop I cried
Gone like the pressure lifted off my heart
Gone just like I knew he’d be from the start
He’s gone
Now he’s gone
He’s gone
Well that blue-eyed blonde doesn’t seem so nice
She’s got cruel intentions in the back of her mind
Got a smile on her face and a kiss for your cheek
But that innocent act just won’t fool me
They were last seen together on a Friday night
Getting in his truck, in the full moonlight
Pre-Chorus:
Now he’s gone
He’s gone
Chorus:
Yeah he’s gone like the clouds that used to fill my sky
Gone like the last tear drop I cried
Gone like the pressure lifted off my heart
Gone just like I knew he’d be from the start
He’s gone
Now he’s gone
He’s gone
They were last seen out on a Friday night
Before a shot rang out, and he lost the fight
Chorus:
Now he’s gone
He’s gone
Yeah he’s gone like the gun from my dresser drawer
Gone like the body lying on the floor
Gone like the future he promised me
Gone just like I always knew he’d be
He’s gone
Now he’s gone
He’s gone
They were last seen together on a Friday night
Last seen together ‘fore I took his life
