    GONE FOR GOOD (LYRICS)
    The cracks out in the sidewalk
    Hold the memories I keep
    Your name is on my finger where a wedding band could be
    And these white lines they keep me moving
    Until I’m forced to get some sleep
    I pray to god that I wake up with you lying next to me
    I know I’m gonna wake up in a puddle of my tears
    Forced to realize you’re gone for good
    I’m sorry that I stole from you so many of those years
    I swear I’d give them back girl if I could
    I’ve been hidin’ out in these bar rooms where no one knows my name
    I find myself a corner and I drink away my shame
    With the want so bad to call you though I know it’s a mistake
    I hope that I am on your mind if you’re lying there awake
    I know I’m gonna wake up in a puddle of my tears
    Forced to realize you’re gone for good
    I’m sorry that I stole from you so many of those years
    I swear I’d give them back girl if I could
    I’m forced to realize you’re gone for good
    An Ohio singer/songwriter with a soulful, rootsy blend of country, rock, and folk, Arlo McKinley debuted in 2014 with his self-titled album. In 2020, he came to wider public attention with Die Midwestern, released on the late John Prine's Oh Boy label. Two years later, he issued This Mess We're In.
    Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, McKinley first began singing at age eight in the choir at his family's Baptist church. Growing up, he imbibed his Kentucky-born father's LPs, listening to artists like Hank Williams and George Jones, as well as Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and Van Morrison. By his teens, he was playing guitar and singing in punk bands. However, in his twenties he began writing his own songs, gravitating toward rootsy country and soul sounds, mixing it with his varied rock influences. A troubled period involving drugs waylaid his career and found him moving away from music. For several years, he drove a truck delivering tuxedos between Cincinnati and Detroit. He eventually returned to songwriting and in 2014 released his debut album, Arlo McKinley & the Lonesome Sound. Hitting the road, he gained wider attention touring alongside roots luminaries like Tyler Childers, John Moreland, Jason Isbell, and Justin Townes Earle. In March 2020, he became the final artist signed by legendary singer/songwriter John Prine's Oh Boy Records label just before Prine's death that April. In August 2020, McKinley released his sophomore album and Oh Boy debut, Die Midwestern, recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio with Grammy-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang. 2022 saw the release of McKinley's third long-player, the inward-looking This Mess We're In.

      @@DeezyWhite I never listen to the radio...and I really listen and study alot of music as a passion. This artist already has an array of raw or pure style releases...what Abt the Post Malone cover? Welcome to the times! Now an artist can and has to cover several 'styles' of release to set himself above the rest... It's a pleasure to see all the creativity and expands the opportunity for the music to reach a wider fanbase...either way I'm appreciative if this video and song...whether I gain a vision and experience tied to the video, or from my own remembrances solely. Enjoy and have a great day.
