[Verse]
EmI was taught to be Cproud of Dwhere I come Gfrom
And I'm Emso sCad that BmI'm the Aonly one.
Like a Emcold pCreacher boy talking Donly to Ghimself
How Cdid he Bmthink AthAat Ahe got to promised lands?
[Chorus] 
DGone, gone, goCne,
GNot gone for loDng,
If you're taDught to be prCoud of where Gyou come frDom.
DGone, gone, goCne,
GNot gone for loDng,
If you're taDught to be prCoud of where Gyou come frDom.
[Verse 2]
It's haEmrd to be cCool when you're playDing for the propGhets;
They reEmally know Cif you got it Bmor you lost itA.
I'll siEmng this sonCg but I don't knDow where it came fGrom,
RemCinds me of a moBmuntainside to stand Aupon and genAtly hum.A  
[Chorus]
DGone, gone, goCne,
GNot gone for loDng,
If you're taDught to be prCoud of where Gyou come frDom.
DGone, gone, goCne,

If you're taDught to be prCoud of where Gyou come frDom.
[Verse 3]
EmSometimes I'm confuCsed I donD't know where GI'm going,
MistakEming gCentle riBmvers for Athat cold wind a-blowing.
And I'm EmalwayCs sure of an angel wDhen she Ggets here,
But CI never Bmsee hAer AcAoming and I miss her when she disappears.
