Everything's Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, please don't take all the land away
‘Cause I need that now
Well, I need to go somewhere and lose my mind
And please stop telling me to turn it down ‘cause it ain't that loud
And I haven't felt like singing in a long, long time
Well, me all night alone, scream and cry over tremolo
Well, I need to get out of the city, when can I go?

[Chorus]
By the time I get back will it be all gone?
Where has everything gone?
Lord, everything's gone
Everything's gone

[Verse 2]
Well, I swore I'd never be this bitter again
But some years have passed
Well, I guess I lost religion and my piece of mind
I thought I'd be okay without a home if I just had grace
These years I've been away haven't been too kind
Lord, now I'm sick of seeing the fear in my family's eyes
I need to find the man who put it there and set his life on fire

[Chorus]
By the time I get them back it will be gone
I hear everything's gone
Well, by the time I get back it will be all gone
I hear everything's gone Everything's gone, everything's gone
[Verse 3]
If I ever get to go back home
I'm going to go there all alone
Take a walk around that dead-ass town
If I ever get back to where I live
You can bet I won't have to sleep on anything
I'll find a rich man's house and I'll burn it down
I'll burn it down, burn it down

[Verse 4]
‘Cause my daddy built the deck with his own two hands
I guess you didn't really know
There wasn't anywhere else for us to go
Now where the horses used to run there ain't nothing left but Amish corn
Oh, the place where I grew up and my little brother was born
And if I strike it rich again, I'll go and buy it all back
Well I'll drop a bomb on that bitch and watch it turn to ash

[Chorus]
By the time I get the money, it will be all gone
Lord, it's already gone
Well, by the time I get the money, it will be all gone
Lord, everything's gone
Everything's gone, everything's gone
Everything's gone, lord everything's gone
