Already Gone

1.
Last night a coyote howled in the meadow
  And a train whistle echoed down the hill.
  There was a rustling in the leaves that stirred up my memories
  They played me that old traveling song.
  And I wished that I was Already Gone.
   
2.
This morning geese flew low past my window
  They were winging their way to the south.
  They did not have much to say but they pointed out the way.
  They showed me deep snow won't be long
  And I wished that I was Already Gone.
 
bridge I don't want to spend another winter-without-end
  Here in this northern prairie town.
  It's warm down Tucson way. I think I'll head on out today.
  Next year maybe, I'll be back around.
  Next year maybe, I'll be back around.
 
3.
There's a tear in your eye as you watch me
  Stuff my clothes in a dirty duffle bag.
  There is a fire in your kiss that I know I'm gonna miss
  But this rambler's gotta keep moving on
  And I wish that I was Already Gone.
 
coda
Yeah, this rambler's gotta keep moving on
  And I wish that I was Already Gone.
   
  Additional / optional bridge from Three for the Road
bridge I don't want to spend another winter-without-end
  Here in this northern prairie town.
  It's warm out in L. A.. I think I'll head out there today.
  Next year maybe, I'll be back around.
  Next year maybe, I'll be back around.
   
  Optional coda from Nice Place to Visit and Colorado Bluegrass Music Society 2007 Compilation CD:
coda
Yeah, this old boy's gotta keep moving on
  And I wish that I was Already Gone.
 

"I was driving home from the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in late September, 1996. My Acura broke down outside Ellsworth, KS. The car was towed back to Salina, and I spent 4 days in a Howard Johnson Motel while it was being fixed. I could see a winter snow storm building up in the West. I wanted to get home before I got caught in a blizzard: wishing I was Already Gone." — San
