NEED YOU GONE

(Copyright © 2007 Jim Clark)

North through the tidewater up 85
Me and my friends so glad to be alive
Indian Summer sun and wind
Goin’ to Williamsburg for the weekend
But I wonder what you’re doing today
Six hundred miles from the Chesapeake Bay
It’s got me down feeling this way
But I can’t give you anything I don’t own
I need your love and I need you gone

Leavin’ Richmond barely sane
Twenty miles later we’re feelin’ no pain
Drivin’ to Williamsburg out of control
Gonna find the heart of rock and roll
‘Cause there’s a man down there tonight
Says when you dance everything’s all right
Hear him sing as he steps into the light
I can’t give you anything I don’t own
I need your love and I need you gone

North through the tidewater up 85
Me and my friends so glad to be alive
Indian Summer sun and wind
Goin’ to Williamsburg for the weekend
Gonna find the heart of rock and roll (repeat)
