Long Gone

Alley – Nick DeGiacinto

Dugan Stewart

long gone 

gambling with god daily

hoping he might just bail me 

i’ve had too many chances

and now the train’s derailing

portraying life in pictures

the time I almost missed her

looking too far back

like a useless bumper sticker

unescapable trouble 

watching my life crumble

you know your luck’s run out

when the clouds start to rumble

rotten to the core

while the reigns of justice pour

the face of human disgrace

a naked eye can’t ignore
