Everybody's Gone

Everybody's Gone

By Mark A. Garcia

I took the long way down that dark highway

Trying to figure out my own song

And who sold the sound for how much down

And why everybody's gone.

Billy lose the accent but keep that Stetson

You're still the only one playing that role

We made it through high school graduated to bar stool

And why everybody's gone.

(Chorus)

Everybody's gone they all snuck out the front door

Single file without saying a word

Their worlds unfolded so they rolled on

And now everybody's gone.

Now Bill's baby bout to have a baby

Bye bye Billy turn around he's gone

I'm on my first life your on your second (wife)

And now everybody's gone.

Every hug you get could mean one less drink

Water and love make seeds so strong

And the final gift is the frown you lift

After everybody's gone.

I sold the clown just to keep myself down

After everybody's gone.
