Lyrics:

This ain't no temporary, typical, tearful goodbye
This ain't no breakin' up and wakin' up
And makin' up one more time
This is gone, gone, gone, gone

Gone like a freight-train
Gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang bang
Gone like a '59 Cadillac

Like all the good things
That ain't never coming back
She's gone, gone, gone, gone
She's gone

This ain't no give it time
I'm hurtin' but maybe we can work it out
Won't be no champagne, red rose, romance, second chance
This is gone, gone, gone, gone

Gone like a freight-train
Gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang bang
Gone like a '59 Cadillac

Like all the good things
That ain't never coming back

Long gone, done me wrong
Never comin' back, my baby's gone, yes she's gone
Lonely at home, sittin' all alone
She's packed her bags and now she's gone, never coming back

She's gone, gone, gone, gone

Gone like a freight-train
Gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang bang
Gone like a '59 Cadillac

Like all the good things
That ain't never coming back
And she's gone, she's gone
And she's gone
