Freedy Johnston - Gone Like the Water Lyrics

A red suitcase, she'll never miss
A leather coat, he used to wear
Thinking tough, looking tired
With mamma'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
