You Go You're Gone

Well, Tommy stepped away
From the world for awhile
He only left a picture
Of a seventh grade smile
Well, he got caught in between
A mother’s lost hope
And a father’s lost dream
A head of ideas
That don’t mean anything
That don’t mean anything
Well, Tommy had a problem
With being alone
He spent everyday
Of his life on his own
But there’s no one to blame
It’s hard to keep friends
When you keep moving away
The cards and letters
They don’t mean anything
They don’t mean anything
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you’re gone, you’re gone
You’re gone, you’re gone
And if you feel you can’t go on
You can always come home
You can always come home
You can always come home to me
Tommy stepped away
From the world for awhile
His first few steps
It felt like a mile
They never could believe
He said good-bye
And they just watched him leave
All the things he knew
Don’t mean anything
They don’t mean anything
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you’re gone, you’re gone
You’re gone, you’re gone
And if you feel you can’t go on
You can always come home
You can always come home
You can always come home to me
And if you go too far
You might never come back
And I might go too far
But I won’t ever some back
And when you go, I’ll wait for you
And when you go, I’ll be there too
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you’re gone, you’re gone
You’re gone, you’re gone
And if you feel you can’t go on
Said, if you feel you can’t go on
