Well, I heard some people talkin' jus' the other day
an' they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
Well, let me tell ya, I got some news for you
an' you'll soon find out it's true
an' then you'll have to eat yer lunch all by yerself

'cause I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song
Whoohoohooooh, my, my whoohoohoooo

The letter that you wrote me, made me stop an' wonder why
but I guess you felt like ya had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You could see the stars an' still not see the light

'cause I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song
Whoohoohooooh, my, my whoohoohoooo
yeah
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down,
Heaven knows, it wasn't you who set me free
So often, times it happens that we live our lives in chains,
an' we never even know we have the key

But I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song
'cause I'm already gone
I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song
'cause I'm already gone
yes, I'm already gone
already gone alright, nighty night.
