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.
