He Don't Live Here No More - Robbie Robertson

Got a ticket on the mainline

I was stranded on the fault line

I got wasted on the moonshine

Too far gone

I was walking in the sundown

I was heading for the breakdown

When you’re sleeping on the cold ground

Too far gone

There was a cloud hanging over me

Something just reached out and grabbed a hold of me

Inside of the belly of the whale

Outside they was beatin on the door

Somebody goin down tonight

I said boys he don’t live here no more

He don’t live here no more

I was riding on the night train

I been moving in the fast lane

I was only trying to kill the pain

Too far gone

I was running on a red light

Always looking for a street fight

I was higher than a lost kite

Too far gone

When you’re waiting for the axe to drop

When you’re hooked so bad you could not stop

Inside of the belly of the whale

Outside they was beatin on the door

Somebody goin down tonight

I said boys he don’t live here no more

He don’t live here no more

Got no one to blame but myself

They couldn’t hear my distant cry for help

Inside of the belly of the whale

Outside they was beatin on the door

Somebody’s goin down tonight

I said boys he don’t live here no more

He don’t live here no more
