I'm tired Lord, and I'm drawn and I'm chilled right to the bone
I crawled home from my work and this note said she was gone
Said your dinner's in the cat and your love is out the door
I'm goin' back to my momma and I don't want you no more
No more, she said she don't want me no more
She's gone back to her momma, said she's never, never comin' back no more

Now a man can take so much and only heaven knows his limit
But a naggin' bitchin' woman digs a hole and puts him in it
A sophisticated man needs a little somethin' on the side
So what you don't get at home, you've gotta get outside, hey

She's gone (I'm spendin' all of my money)
She's gone, gone, gone (and I can swing with my honey)
She's gone, I'm so glad that woman's gone

Now time goes marchin' on and it won't wait for you
You gotta take it when it's offered and get it when it's due
Now a man can move much faster without a millstone around his neck
So if you get the chance to lose it, you gotta drop it and run like heck, hey

She's gone (I'm spendin' all of my money)
She's gone, gone, gone (and I can swing with my honey)
She's gone, I'm so glad that woman's gone
She's gone, gone (I'm spendin' all of my money)
She's gone, gone, gone (and I can swing with my honey)
Gone, so glad that woman's gone

She's gone, gone (I'm spendin' all of my money)
She's gone, gone, gone (and I can swing with my honey)
Gone, so glad that woman's gone
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

She's gone (I'm spendin' all of my money)
She's gone, gone, gone (and I can swing with my honey)
She's gone, gone, so glad that woman's gone

She's gone (I'm spendin' all of my money)
Well, she's gone, gone (and I can swing with my honey)
Yeah, she's gone, gone, gone, I'm so glad that woman's gone, woo!

She's gone, gone (I'm spendin' all of my money)
Yeah, she's gone, gone (and I can swing with my honey)
She's gone, gone, gone, I'm so glad that woman's gone

She's gone (I'm spendin' all of my money)
Whoa, she's gone, gone, gone (and I can swing with my honey)
Yeah, she's gone, gone, so glad that woman's gone, woo
