He’s Gone (Live at Lakeland Civic Center Arena, May 21, 1977) The Grateful Dead

[Verse 1]
Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head

[Chorus]
Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back, he's gone

[Verse 2]
Nine-mile skid on a ten-mile ride
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

[Chorus]
Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back, he's gone
