gone once (never going back again)
(fast tempo)
i went out of my head
and i never came back again
i just left it there worry and rolling
heading straight on for a dead end
(refrain)
gone once
never going back again
the cops stopped me and they told me
that i better get quick out of there
"we don't like hippies" is what they told me
when i asked if they sold karma-donuts anywhere around here
(refrain)
gone once
never going back again
life ain't funny when you're hungry
and all you feel like doing is drinking
and when you can't think and can't breathe
and all you feel like doing is wheezing
(refrain)
gone once
never going back again
well i been here for too many years
now i got to pack up all my gear
i got to get out of this town i'm in
get on the road and never turn around again
(refrain)
gone once
never going back again
(fast tempo)
i went out of my head
and i never came back again
i just left it there worry and rolling
heading straight on for a dead end
(refrain)
gone once
never going back again
the cops stopped me and they told me
that i better get quick out of there
"we don't like hippies" is what they told me
when i asked if they sold karma-donuts anywhere around here
(refrain)
gone once
never going back again
life ain't funny when you're hungry
and all you feel like doing is drinking
and when you can't think and can't breathe
and all you feel like doing is wheezing
(refrain)
gone once
never going back again
well i been here for too many years
now i got to pack up all my gear
i got to get out of this town i'm in
get on the road and never turn around again
(refrain)
gone once
never going back again
