Some break-up songs wallow in heartache, but Scotty McCreery’s “Gone”? Oh, it’s a full-on declaration of freedom. This track doesn’t beg, plead, or look back—it slams the door shut, kicks up the dust, and speeds off without a second thought.
From the moment the song kicks in, it’s clear we’re in for a ride. It’s got that classic country storytelling, but with a fiery energy that sets it apart. The lyrics don’t just whisper about leaving—they roar. The ex? Out of sight, out of mind, out of the picture. And McCreery delivers it with a confident, almost smirking bravado, making it the perfect anthem for anyone ready to move on, no regrets.
The power in “Gone” comes from its punchy rhythm and driving beat, which match the song’s take-no-prisoners attitude. It’s the kind of track that feels like a jolt of energy, a perfect companion for rolling down the highway with the windows down, leaving the past in the rearview mirror.
For fans of country music that blends modern flair with traditional storytelling, this is Scotty McCreery at his boldest. Whether you’re fresh out of a breakup or just need a song that makes you feel unstoppable, “Gone” is a reminder that sometimes the best move is forward—and fast.

Lyrics
This ain’t no temporary, typical, tearful good-bye, uh uh uh
This ain’t no breakin’ up and wakin’ up and makin’ up
One more time, uh uh uh
This is gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone
Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang
Gone like a ’59 Cadillac
Like all them good things that ain’t never coming back
She’s gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone, she’s gone
This ain’t no give it time, I’m hurtin’ but maybe
We can work it out, uh uh uh
Won’t be no champagne, red rose, romance, second chance, uh uh uh
This is gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone
Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang
Gone like a ’59 Cadillac
Like all them good things that ain’t never coming back
Long gone, done me wrong
Never comin’ back, my baby’s gone, she’s gone
Lonely at home, sittin’ all alone
She’s packed her bags and now she’s gone
Never comin’ back, she’s gone
She’s gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone,
Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang
Gone like a ’59 Cadillac
Like all them good things that ain’t never coming back
She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone
