Hands On A Hardbody (Original Broadway Cast)
-
I'm Gone
I work at the U.P.S.
The job is pretty good I guess.
I sort the packages midnight to dawn.
Around here you can bet,
there's no better job to get.
It's steady work you can upon.
But I can almost feel the ocean breeze,
when I read a label labelled overseas.
And sometimes I get down on my knees
and pray,
Jesus, slip me in this package
and ship me far away,
from teeth to fix and one more bill to pay.
And I'm gone,
so far away,
gone.
like yesterday,
gone
so fast, so far,
gone
like a shootin' star
gone,
like all good things,
like, innocence and summer flings

a dandelioin you blew a wish upon,
scattered to the forewings
my momma, she still works today,
her 401k is blown away
when she needs cash, she finds somethin' to pawn.
she'll prob'ly, never get the chance,
to see Paris, Texas or Paris, France
or a life that's lived beyond her own front lawn.
and that ain't livin', that's just hangin' on, on.
I'm gone.
(Greg) [Spoken]I see you've got it all mapped out,
only without a map.
(Kelli) [Spoken]Yep.
(Greg, Sung) Well, I,
always had this dream,
since I was thirteen,
to be a stuntman on the screen.
(Greg, sung) Well, yeah.
I bet I'd do pretty good,
At least I think I could,
if I could get to Hollywood.
[Greg, spoken]Hey, come with me.
What?
Dangerous, driving all by yourself. I need somebody to keep me awake and change the channel on that satellite radio.
I don't know.
Don't you want to see palm trees once before you die?
Sure.
Well gas and grub, we'll just fifty-fifty split. You sleep in the cabin, and I'll sleep in the back.
(Greg) It's done.
(Kelli) I can see the people that I've seen,
(Greg) It helps to be compact.
(Kelli) there in People Magazing.
(Greg) I know that for fact.
(Kelli) Dancin' with celebrities, for fun.
(Greg) Maybe you could, act.
(Kelli) For real?
You really think I could?
(Greg) Girl as bright as you.
(Kelli) Might as well, while I look good.
(Greg) No tellin' what you'll do.
(Kelli) Wear some pretty clothes and carry on.
(Greg) Just don't forget,
I'll be there too.
(Kelli) Cause I can almost feel the ocean breeze
(Greg) Oh, can't you feel the ocean breeze?
(Kelli) When I read a label labelled overseas
(Greg) I'll jump from buildings, swing from trees.
(Kelli) And sometimes,
(Greg and Kelli) I get down on my knees,
and pray.
If I win, then I'll drive you. If you win, drive me? Okay.
Somewhere far away from here,
is where we'll finally be.
Somebody that no one here can see.
I know there's a life out there,
for me.
We're gone
so far away
gone
like yesterday
gone
so fast, so far,
gone.
like a shootin' star
once it streaks,
across the summer sky,
fireworks on the fifth of july.
A dandelion you blew a wish upon.
(Kelli) Put the petal to the medal.
(Greg) Break off that rear-view mirror.
(Both) And everyone will know that we were here.
When we're gone.
When we're gone.
when we're gone.
