Going Going Gone
Embracing Change: Journey Through Life's Crossroads with Gregg Allman's 'Going Going Gone'
Lyrics
I've just reached a place
I have reached a point in my life
Where the willow don't bend
Where things are unyielding or inflexible
There's not much more to be said
There's little more to express or elaborate
It's the top of the end
It's the culmination or conclusion
I'm going
I am departing
I'm going
-I'm gone
I have left
I'm closing' the book
I am bringing closure to a chapter
On the pages and the text
On both the tangible and conceptual aspects
And I don't really care
I am indifferent to the outcomes that follow
What happens next
It doesn't matter what comes next
I'm just going
I am departing
I'm going
-I'm gone
I have left
I been hanging on threads
I've been holding on precariously
I have been playing' it straight
I've been living honestly
Now, I've just got to cut loose
Now, I must break free
Before it gets late
Before it becomes too late
So I'm going
I am departing
I'm going
-I'm gone
I have left
Grandma said, "Boy, go and follow your heart
Grandma's advice: Follow your heart
And you'll be fine at the end of the line
And things will be fine in the end
All that's gold isn't meant to shine
Not everything valuable is meant to be conspicuous
Don't you and your one true love ever part"
Never part with your one true love
I been walking the road
I've been on a challenging journey
I been living on the edge
I've been living on the edge
Now, I've just got to go
Now, I must depart
Before I get to the ledge
Before reaching a critical point
So I'm going
I am departing
I'm just going
I am simply departing
I'm gone
I have left
