verse 1 You had your hands on the wheel Stood on the street 'neath the telephone lines Well you took everything you could steal You came and you went like a thief in the night And I ran for the hills but you couldn't kill me But damn you cut close to the bone You can call me a fool you can call me alone Call me gone, gone, gone And this heavy old heart is as steady as stone Call me gone, gone, gone verse 2 Well the sun's gonna rise in the east And I'm bound to stumble on a Saturday night Well passion is painful but it's free Love is a mean hateful business sometimes And I ran for the hills but you couldn't kill me But damn you cut close to the bone You can call me a fool you can call me alone Call me gone, gone, gone And this heavy old heart is as steady as stone Call me gone, gone, gone verse 3 I'd throw the horses some feed Warm my hands up to a hickory fire Well I'm hangin' on to the heat Love is a cold institution sometimes Bridge And I'm all full of guilt and I'm not full of black For sellin' my soul for a pat on the back And I ran for the hills but you couldn't kill me But damn you cut close to the bone You can call me a fool you can call me alone Call me gone, gone, gone And this heavy old heart is as steady as stone Call me gone, gone, gone Call me gone gone gone Call me, call me gone gone gone
