My Baby's Gone

You gotta weep, you gotta wail
 You gotta drag yourself on hands and knees
 Bleedin' another mile along the trail
 You gotta laugh in the face of the devil, he's hanging on to your shirt tail
 You gotta hold down the lid of the coffin, hammer in the last nail
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
 You gotta live, you gotta learn
 How to find your way to the end of the night
 When there's nowhere left to turn
 How to keep the last embers of the fire alight when there's nothin' left to burn
 How to say goodbye to the ashes that fly from the cheap metal urn
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me

 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
 She said, "Go to sleep, you gotta save
 Your anger and rage for the livin' 'cause they're no damn good in the grave
 Don't waste your time on forgivin' the ones who just don't know how to behave
 There's Heaven and Hell in the world that you live in
 But I'm in a different place
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
 My baby's gone so far away
 She's never comin' back to me
