lyrics

Jackie left town this morning
got on a 747 and she packed it on home
Cathy, she's been gone a long time
who was that other one, with the red hair?
didn't like to be alone?
now paper money burning, fire-crackers snappin in the street
I'm on my 16th can and my 16th conversation about the heat
(god it's hot out here isn't it?)

there's a mountain somewhere
a pile of things I've lost
the numbers on the napkins that I put through the wash
the goin' and the gone
the doin' and the done

Scotty, we've been here a long time
tea eggs and cheap cigarettes at the 7-11
Lately, I just get sick when I hear my own lines
feeling like a dirty old man in a young man's heaven
If you had have told a younger me that I'd still be here
I'd'a said you were crazy- I was only bankin' on a couple of years

there's a mountain somewhere
a pile of things I've lost
the numbers on the napkins that I've put through the wash
the goin' and the gone
the doin' and the done

And I guess it's not very likely
If I had a daughter, I'd want her to meet somebody like me
where will I be livin' then?
who will I be callin' friend?
what will I become to them?
the ones that I'll never, ever see again
the goin' and the gone
the doin' and the done
the goin' and the gone
the doin' and the done
the goin' and the gone
the doin' and the done
