Already gone

ALBUM: Eagles: Thier Greatest Hits, 1971-1975

SONG: ALREADY GONE
(J. Tempchin, R. Strandlund)

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
and they said you were gonna put me on a shelf.
But let me tell you I got some news for you
and you'll soon find out it's true
and then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself.

'Cause I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song.
Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o.

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
but I guess you felt like you had to set things right.
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
you can see the stars and still not see the light, that's right.

And I'm already gone
and I'n feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song.
Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o.

Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down.
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free.
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
and we never even know we have the key.

But me, I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing, I will sing this vict'ry song
'cause I'm already gone.

Yes, I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song
'cause I'm already gone.

Yes, I'm already gone,
already gone ALRIGHT, NIGHTY-NIGHT
already gone
already gone (fade)
