Here But I'm Gone Lyrics


How did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gonePorched up in a rocking-chair
With my feet all bare
Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrapLive an adolescent mind
Never do take the time
Waiting for my high, quiet as it's keptHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneMama told me I was best
Argue and punch in the chest
Son, now be strong, let me take you homeI'd see in her eyes so sincere
Screaming, what got me here
Standing in the world with my mind all blownHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?

And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneI do nothing but waste all my time
Leaving the world behind
Smoking my crack just to keep me highAround the boys I play my part rough
Keep myself tough enough
Never to cry, don't really wanna dieHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, Illinois. Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous.
