I've Gone
I left at 9, to be downtown by 8
I left at 7, to be uptown by 12
I left at 5, to be midtown by 3
I've gone to town and made my fortune
I left at sunrise, to be at work by midnight
I left at middawn, to be at home by evening
I left at late night, to be at school by afterlight
I've gone to the city and made my future
I left at 7, to be uptown by 12
I left at 5, to be midtown by 3
I've gone to town and made my fortune
I left at sunrise, to be at work by midnight
I left at middawn, to be at home by evening
I left at late night, to be at school by afterlight
I've gone to the city and made my future
