Well, I heard some people talkin′ just the other day

And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf

But let me tell you I got some news for you

And you′ll soon find out it′s true

And then you′ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

′Cause I′m already gone

And I′m feelin′ strong

I will sing this vict′ry song,

hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why

But I guess you felt like you had to set things right

Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky

You can see the stars and still not see the light (that′s right)

And I′m already gone

And I′m feelin′ strong

I will sing this vict′ry song,

hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo

Well I know it wasn′t you who held me down

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains

And we never even know we have the key

But me, I′m already gone

And I′m feelin′ strong

I will sing this vict′ry song

′Cause I′m already gone
