I was something of a wild child
I was some kind of lady
Stranded without title
And a little bit crazy
People I loved, they all drifted away
Paid no attention when I'd hear them say

Oh she's gone, gone with the wind
Gone, gone with the wind
I never took a rap for the original sin
And I'm gone with the wind

Then I hit the big time
In and out of trouble
Kept myself from drownin'
With the air inside my bubble
Soon as I'd land I'd quickly fly away
Never looked back when I'd hear someone say

Oh she's gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Never took a rap for the original sin
And I'm gone with the wind

Set my own example
Did a lot of learning
Double burning candle and the
Fire's still burning
Reckless abandon and letting it show
Keep holding on while I lived to let go
