Don't ask him where he's goin', 'Cause you won't find him there
He's got kindness hidden in his hands, But he's got no love to spare
And he dreams of havin' a family, But he'll never settle down
He's the kind of man you'll never understand, though it's hard to know it now
He's a little off on the wind, Mr. Gone and Back again
Just takes a little from him, to make you wanna want him
Oh, but he'll always be gone in the mornin'
And he'll hit like a stranger, til he wraps you in his arms
Makes you a morning cup of coffee, kiss your cheek as you get outta the car
Don't tell and he won't ask ya, keeps his cards close to his chest,
But you still wanna warm your cold hands in the pockets of his vest
He's a little off on the wind, Mr. Gone and Back again
Just takes a little from him, to make you wanna want him
Oh, but he'll always be gone in the mornin'
And deep in his jean pockets, he'll shove his rough hands
But it'll take a match to wrap 'em around and pull you down again
And tethered around his shoulders is a world you'll never know
He's got years of leavin' and girls a-greivin' and beggin' him not to go
He's a little off on the wind, Mr. Gone and Back again
Just takes a little from him, to make you wanna want him
Oh, but he'll always be gone in the mornin'
He's a little off on the wind, Mr. Gone and Back again
Just takes a little from him, to make you wanna want him
Oh, but he'll always be gone in the mornin'
Oh, but he'll always be gone in the mornin'
