Lyrics
He told me stories from long ago
Rivers and fields we hiked toe to toe
This man he told me what he thought I should know
He had a green thumb he was a guitar man
Lived in the past his thoughts hidden in the sand
Ah he was a heavyweight on a scale so grand
He ain?t gone he just stepped outside lookin? for a sunny day
Well he ain?t gone he just walked a mile to a ship that would take him far away
He ain?t gone he just stepped outside lookin? for a sunny day
He ain?t gone he just walked a mile to a ship that would take him far away
He ain?t gone
He kept on talkin? of his caisson days
Transformed from horses to artillery blaze
He was a Red-leg real proud in his ways
Followed his footsteps when I served Uncle Sam
His hair turned gray when I fought the Asian land
He said don?t be a hero son there?s no gain in their plan
He ain?t gone he just stepped outside lookin? for a sunny day
He ain?t gone he just walked a mile to a ship that would take him far away
He ain?t gone he just stepped outside lookin? for a sunny day
He ain?t gone he just walked a mile to a ship that would take him far away
My mind plays tricks so I see him in his old home town
Still crossin? kids for sure who are all school bound
Life comes but once but he?s still wandering around
He ain?t gone he just stepped outside lookin? for a sunny day
He ain?t gone he just walked a mile to a ship that would take him far away
He ain?t gone he just stepped outside lookin? for a sunny day
He ain?t gone he just walked a mile to a ship that would take him far away
He ain?t gone
He ain?t gone
He ain?t gone he just walked outside
He just walked outside
