[Verse 1]
I went down to Chicago
I didn't know where else to go
I was paid to shoot a man
I just shot him and then I ran
I didn't even get the money I'm owed
I turned around and took to the road
I've been wandering to and fro
And made my way to Chicago
I see the fire of the barrel
And bullet fly like an arrow
I see the trouble in the poor man's eyes
I see his soul take to the skies
[Chorus]
Gone away
Yeah, I'm gone away
Yeah, I'm gone away
Oh, I'm gone away
Yeah, I'm gone away
Yeah, I'm gone away
Oooh
[Verse 2]
I got a hole in my heart now
My stomachs churning and I'm broken down
I keep crying and there ain't no end
I can try but i'd fail again
Because there ain't no action
In this world
