Guy Clark - Be Gone Forever lyrics

Sometimes a loser Sometimes a hero This is a lonely captain's story Sword and a pistol by his side Chorus Do Lord oh do remember him Yes, yes, remember him There will be a singer Whenever his time has come to die Be gone forever Sometimes an angel Sometimes unwanted This is a lonely nurse's story Watch and a clipboard by her side Chorus Sometimes a legend Sometimes a beggar This is a lonely hobo's story Cane and a switchblade by his side Chorus Sometimes we're ugly Not really worth it This is a lonely planet's story We're the third one from the sun Chorus
