When I was a young boy
it weren t too late
I had me a Buickwas a 48
Yeahtons and tons
of rollin steel
With a long black hoad
and four big wheels.

WellI worked so hard
I flunked out of school
And everybody said
I was a teenage fool
Meanwhile I wrote me
a new set of rules
Bout how to get gone
and how to be cool.

Wellwe hit the road
like a ton o bricks
With an old guitar
and a few hot licks
We were rockin in the city
and rockin in the sticks
Didn t make much money
but we had a lotta kicks.

Get goneget gone
Get goneoh yeahget gone
Get goneget gone
Get goneoh yeahget gone.

Wellthen one day
a city slicker walked up
SaidsonI m gonna make you
a million bucks
Gonna fly around the country
in a big ol plane
Gonna get a lotta drugs
gonna feel no pain.

WellI knew we were breakin
that highway rule
When we pulled outta town
a little low on fuel
That big ol plane
fell from the sky
Me and the boys
kissed the world goodbye
Yeahme and the boys
kissed the world goodbye.

Get goneget gone
Get goneoh yeahget gone
Get goneget gone
Get goneoh yeahget gone.
