A red suitcase she'll never miss   A leather coat he used to wear   Thinking tough, looking tired   With momma's money and daddy's ring      He's gone like the water down to   NYC   Sleeping on the 802   Along this river, running down   He's gone like the water down   The deep hole drain   Disappearing in the city      Twenty four and growing pale   Growing up, coming back   Drew a face on the ticket stub   With mamma's hands, and daddy's pen      He's gone like the water down to   NYC   Sleeping on the 802   Along this river, running down   He's gone like the water down   The deep hole drain   Disappearing in the city      Talk all night, cook all day   Looking for a new place to stay   Thinking hard, looking bad   With mama's dollar in daddy's coat      He's gone like the water down to   NYC   Sleeping on the 802   Along this river, running down   He's gone like the water down   The deep hole drain   Disappearing in the city
