Kelly's Gone
Kelly's gone was all it said
The note that she left at the end of the bed
With the door hanging open to let in the cold
She left no clues and no address
She left a lot of things unsaid
And took whatever the Toyota could hold
And that cotton dress that I remember her in
Was still hanging on the line
The curtains were drawn, the TV was on
Kitchen clock keeping time
Kelly's gone another mile
The road goes on the world goes by
Her wheels are rolling and it feels so good
Kelly's gone kiss her goodbye
She never said the reason why
She'd ride forever if she could
Kelly's gone a thousand miles
Before she lets herself try on a smile
Kicks off her shoes and puts the cruise control on
And she'll choose the roads by the numbers
Until the gas money runs out
Pull to the side and whatever she finds
That's where she'll settle down for now
Kelly's gone another mile
The road goes on the world goes by
Her wheels are rolling and it feels so good
Kelly's gone kiss her goodbye
She never said the reason why
She'd ride forever if she could
Kelly's gone like a summer wind
Gone to start her life all over again
In a brand new place that doesn't know her name
And she wonders if it's better to have never loved
Than to have loved and lost so much
She doesn't miss his voice or his promises
She doesn't need his touch
Kelly's gone another mile
The road goes on the world goes by
Her wheels are rolling and it feels so good
Kelly's gone kiss her goodbye
She never said the reason why
She'd ride forever if she could,
She'd ride forever if she could
