  • 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
    And something just reached out and grabbed a hold of me

    Inside of the belly of the whale
    Outside they was beatin' on a 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 was moving in the fast lane
    I was only tryna 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 a 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
    And 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
    He don't live here no more
    He don't live here no more Writer/s: Robbie Robertson
