[Verse 1]

I’ve just reached a place

Where the willow don’t bend

There’s not much more to be said

It’s the top of the end

I’m going

I’m going

I’m gone


[Verse 2]

I’m closing’ the book

On the pages and the text

And I don’t really care

Oooh, what happens next

I’m just going

I’m going

I’m gone


[Verse 3]

I been hanging on threads

I have been playing’ it straight

Now, I’ve just got to cut loose

Before it gets late

So I’m going

I’m going

I’m gone


[Bridge]

Grandma said, “Boy, go and follow your heart

And you’ll be fine at the end of the line

All that’s gold doesn't shine

Don’t you and your one true love ever part”


[Verse 4]

I been walking the road

I been living on the edge

Now, I’ve just got to go

Before I get to the ledge

So I’m going

I’m just going

I’m gone
