Holly Williams - Gone Away From Me lyrics

rate me

I grew up in a town with one red light

How that train would ride on me in the middle of the night

But I sat like a baby in that bed

Cause mama kept me warm and she kept me fed

July 3rd was a dreaded friend of mine

We’d all go town to the family plot in the louisiana pines

Staring at that little baby’s grave

Still it was as young as she was brave

[Chorus]

What I’d give to go there again

Kiss my daddy’s face, hold my mama’s hand

Little did I know, soon they would be

Lying right beside here,

Gone away from me

Gone away from me

They always made us meet by grandpa’s grave

Bonding words and ... and asking god if he was safe

I never liked to see my daddy cry

I guess I’ll never know how grandpa died

[Chorus]

What I’d give to go there again

Kiss my daddy’s face, hold my mama’s hand

Little did I know, soon they would be

Lying right beside here,

Gone away from me

Gone away from me

Gone away from me, from me, from me

Gone away from me

Gone away from me

You barely even see the tombstones now

...all grown up everywhere

And no one keep the ground

Strangers live inside my childhood home

And I can’t believe that daddy’s really gone

[Chorus]

What I’d give to go there again

Kiss his withered face, hold her gentle hand

There ain’t no way, that will ever be

But I need that old dream

Gone away from me

Gone away from me

Gone away from me

Gone away from me

Well I grew up in a town with one red light.
