VERSE 1 The headlights are cutting through the silver-blue haze And I’m counting out the minutes of these heavy-hearted days. I’m standing in the driveway with my hand on the door Knowing I can’t give you what you’re looking for no more. There’s a silence in the hallway that’s louder than a scream And the jagged, broken edges of a long-faded dream. I’m not looking for an argument, I’m not looking for a fight I’m just looking for the courage to step out into the night. PRE-CHORUS The engine’s humming low, like a warning in the wind The point of no return is where the "almost" has to end. I can feel the gravity pulling at my heels But I finally know the way that freedom feels. CHORUS By the time the sun hits the red-dirt road I’ll be letting go of every heavy load! Yeah, I’m just as good as gone, I’m a shadow in the rear Watching every memory start to disappear. I’m a bird on a wire, I’m a stone in the stream Waking up the spirit from a long-lost dream. Don't look for the taillights, don't wait for the dawn... ‘Cause baby, I’m just as good as gone! VERSE 2 I’ve been living in the "maybe," I’ve been living in the "wait" Trying to find the keys to a locked-up gate. But the air is getting thinner and the sky is getting wide And there’s nowhere left for a heart like mine to hide. It’s a different kind of power when you finally see the truth Reclaiming all the fire of a wasted kind of youth. So keep the keys and keep the house, keep the "should-have-beens" I’m moving to the place where the open road begins. BRIDGE It’s the "almost" that haunts you! It’s the "just-about-to-be"! But I’m trading in the "maybe"... For the man I’m meant to be! Yeah, the man I’m meant to be! CHORUS By the time the sun hits the red-dirt road I’ll be letting go of every heavy load! Yeah, I’m just as good as gone, I’m a shadow in the rear Watching every memory start to disappear. I’m a bird on a wire, I’m a stone in the stream Waking up the spirit from a long-lost dream. Don't look for the taillights, don't wait for the dawn... ‘Cause baby, I’m just as good as gone! OUTRO Good as gone. (Yeah, I'm already out the door) Not looking back no more. Good as gone. [Final massive drum hit]
