Lyrics

CHALKMAN ON THE SIDEWALK
© 2011 Dennis Long

I'm like a chalk man on the sidewalk
First sign of rain I'm going to run
I've got to let you know I come and I go with the Sun
It's been sweet, it's been frantic, it's been real, it's been fun
But I ain't no big romantic, and I damn sure ain't the One
I'm like a chalk man on the sidewalk, first sign of rain I'm going to run

I'm like money in your pocket, I don't hang around for too long
And right when you need me most, you're going to check and I'll be gone
Right now I'm easy access when you reach out your hand
But, girl, I change my address like most people change their pants
I'm like money in your pocket, I don't hang around for too long

CHORUS:
Baby, I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
And from that unsurprised look on your face
I guess you knew it all along
I see your wedding ring finger with that little white line
You're laughing with me now, but I don't think you'll be crying
When I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

I'm like ice cream in the Summer, some things aren't meant to last
And the summertime comes and it goes, but it always goes too fast
When the Autumn winds are blowing, and the leaves are changing hue
My taillights will be showing, but I'll sure remember you
I'm like ice cream in the Summer, some things aren't meant to last

CHORUS:
Baby, I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
And from that unsurprised look on your face
I guess you knew it all along
I see your wedding ring finger with that little white line
You're laughing with me now, but I don't think you'll be crying
When I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

I see your wedding ring finger with that little white line
You're laughing with me now, but I don't think you'll be crying
When I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
