Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf But let me tell you I got some news for you And you'll soon find out it's true And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself 'Cause I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this victory song The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why But I guess you felt like you had to set things right Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right) 'Cause I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this victory song ♪ Well, I know it wasn't you who let me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key And me, I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this victory song Yes, I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this victory song Yes, I'm already gone 'Cause I'm already gone Yes, I'm already gone 'Cause I'm already gone Yes, I'm already gone
