Guy Clark - Be Gone Forever lyrics

rate me

Sometimes a loser

Sometimes a hero

This is a lonely captain's story

Sword and a pistol by his side

Chorus

Do Lord oh do remember him

Yes, yes, remember him

There will be a singer

Whenever his time has come to die

Be gone forever

Sometimes an angel

Sometimes unwanted

This is a lonely nurse's story

Watch and a clipboard by her side

Chorus

Sometimes a legend

Sometimes a beggar

This is a lonely hobo's story

Cane and a switchblade by his side

Chorus

Sometimes we're ugly

Not really worth it

This is a lonely planet's story

We're the third one from the sun

Chorus
