I've just reached a place   Where the willow don't bend.   There's not much more to be said   It's the top of the end.   I'm going,   I'm going,   I'm gone.      I'm closin' the book   On the pages and the text   And I don't really care   What happens next.   I'm just going,   I'm going,   I'm gone.      I been hangin' on threads,   I been playin' it straight,   Now, I've just got to cut loose   Before it gets late.   So I'm going,   I'm going,   I'm gone.      Grandma said, "Boy, go and follow your heart   And you'll be fine at the end of the line.   All that's gold isn't meant to shine.   Don't you and your one true love ever part."      I been walkin' the road,   I been livin' on the edge,   Now, I've just got to go   Before I get to the ledge.   So I'm going,   I'm just going,   I'm gone.
