[Verse 1]
No more upset mornings
No more trying evenings
This American dream
I am disbelieving
When the gas in my tank
Feels like money in the bank
Going to blow it all this time
Take me one last ride

[Chorus]
For the lights of this city
They only look good when I'm speeding
Going to leave them all behind me
Because this time
I'm gone, long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long, because this time I'm gone

[Verse 2]
In the far off distance
As my tail-lights fade
No one thinks to witness
But they will someday
Feel like a question is forming
And the answer is far
I'll be what I could be
Once I get of of this town

[Chorus]

[Outro][x2]
If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
I am gone

Pearl Jam

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
