[Chorus 1]
Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks
Some starting over money that I've been holding back
A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long
A one-way ticket saying good-bye to everything
Threw my wedding band out the window of the train
All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name
I'm moving on because I'm gone

[Chorus 2]
You can tell the truth or you can lie
You can say I left you or I died
Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest
And could spend years looking for the light
Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I
Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home
You can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth
You can say for sure I'm gone, because I'm gone

[Verse]
You think that you're above me, like I'm not good enough
You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved
You're selfish, vain and greedy; you're hateful, rude and rough
And you're so wrong
But you'd rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain
Than separate and have me taking half of everything
Well, I'm leaving your possessions, left on the good-bye train
Left you alone because I'm gone

You can have the house, the car, the boat
My records, books and stereo
The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back
My doll collection and my clothes
You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den
And the fluffy pillows you sleep on
But when you lay your head on that big feather bed
You can rest assured I'll be gone; I'll be gone

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]
Some chewing gum and candy, magazines and snacks
Starting over money I've been holding back
Change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long
I got a one-way ticket saying good-bye to everything
I threw my wedding band out of the window of the train
All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name
I'm moving on because I'm gone
Oh, I'm gone, gone, gone; I'm gone
I'm so gone, I'm gone; gone, I'm gone

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
