Jesse works till midnight in nowhere USA
Pumping gas checking oil on a lonely interstate
Walking down the highway, he looks up to the sky
And he asks Dear Lord how will I make it by?
You know he didn't have a nickel to his name
Although he had a one way ticket just the same
Yes, you know it's true, it's time to
leave those things behind you.
Chorus:
Treat everyday like Yesterday's Gone
Treat everyday like Yesterday's Gone
Ah move along, Yesterday's Gone
Yesterday is Gone, gone, gone, baby
it's far gone
With a bag thrown over his shoulder
Jesse had to hitch a ride
All his friends said he's crazy, you'll
never get to the other side
With a hope and a dream and a
promise, that's really all he had
But he don't care
Aint nothing gonna turn out that bad
You know he didn't have a nickel to his name
Although he had a one way ticket just the same
Yes you know it's true, it's time to
leave those things behind you
Repeat Chorus:
Yea ain't that right boys - C'mon hit it
Many times I've wondered where Jesse is today
Is he on top of the world or knockin' at heaven's gate
The one thing I remember as I look up to the sky
Was the look on his face as he waved goodbye
He said Yesterday's Gone
Yesterday's Gone...
