Tommy stepped away
From the world for a while
He only left a picture
Of a seventh grade smile
He got in between
A mother's lost hope
And a father's lost dream
A head of ideas that don't mean anything
Don't mean anything
Tommy had a problem
With being alone
He spent everyday of his life on his own
But there's no one to blame
It's hard to keep friends
When you keep moving away
The cards and letters
Don't mean anything
They don't mean anything
When you go you're gone
You're gone you're gone
When you go you're gone
You're gone you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
You can always come home
You can always come home
You can always come home
Tommy stepped away
From the world for a while
His first few steps they felt like a mile
They never could believe
He said good-bye and they just watched him
Leave
All the things he knew don't mean anything
They don't mean anything
When you go you're gone
You're gone you're gone
When you go you're gone
You're gone you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
You can always come home
You can always come home
You can always come home
And if you go too far
You might never come back
And I might go too far
And I won't ever come back
And when you go i'll wait for you
And when you go i'll be there too
When you go you're gone
You're gone you're gone
When you go you're gone
You're gone you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
So i can feel you can't go on
