lyrics

A lot of people telling me that we should be happy,
A lot of folks are saying that it could've been worse,
But they don't walk around in the skin that were wearing,
So they don't get to preach about what we should do first,

(Chorus)

Ooooooh it don't get much better,
To live behind these eyes,
You can't even love me when I'm wrong,
How you gonna love me when I'm gone,

All the while it seems I'm going nowhere,
But a lot of things change while standing still,
And if every day we're living baby is a battleground,
Then the kind of life you gets up to your will,

(Chorus)

Oh oh it don't get much better,
To live behind these eyes,
You can't even love me when I'm wrong,
How you gonna love me when I'm gone,

When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
Whoa will you baby,
How you gonna love me,

You can't even love me when I'm wrong,
How you gonna love me when I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
You can't even love me when I'm wrong,
How you gonna love me when I'm gone,
Hold me down my baby,

Pohorylle
by Margo Cilker

supported by 5 fans who also own “When I'm Gone”

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
