I packed my name in a paper bag Left it by the door Took the long road out of town When I couldn't take much more Boards full of promises Hands full of gold Every grin had a hidden knife And I got tired of being sold I don't want your rules I don't want your chains I want open ground I want clean rain Gone for good, gone for good I won't look back now Gone for good, gone for good I'm breaking out somehow Space in my lungs Space in my skin Gone for good, gone for good I won't come back again I watched them fight for a smaller crown Over a shrinking pie Each one talking loud in the dust While the year burned by I want a road where the sky runs wide And nobody keeps score No more deals in the dark for crumbs No more banging on the floor I don't want your games I don't want your stains I want open ground I want clean rain Gone for good, gone for good I won't look back now Gone for good, gone for good I'm breaking out somehow Space in my lungs Space in my skin Gone for good, gone for good I won't come back again If you ask me why I just shake my head Some places take your light Then leave you half-dead I need a place Where the air is mine Where the sky don't bend For a crooked line Gone for good, gone for good I won't look back now Gone for good, gone for good I'm breaking out somehow Space in my lungs Space in my skin Gone for good, gone for good I won't come back again Gone for good, gone for good I choose the open road Gone for good, gone for good I'm light enough to go
