Already Gone is a song written by Kyle Jacobs, Ben Glover, and Joy Williams. Rayna Jaymes first performed it around the time that Juliette Barnes hit the spotlight, with All My Angels. This is her "favorite song" and the most popular song that Rayna Jaymes has written.

It is featured in the Season One episodes Pilot, I've Been Down That Road Before, When You're Tired of Breaking Other Hearts and the Season Two episode We've Got Things to Do.  She also performs it for a crowd of disinterested Silicon Valley business people in the Season Five premiere The Wayfaring Stranger. An unknown person is heard listening to it in the following episode Back in Baby's Arms.

Originally, the song was not released because a complete version was never recorded. But for Season Five, CMT ordered a full version.

Lyrics[]

I take a breath and turn the key
I never guessed this would take all of me
One more look at what I'm leaving behind
This cloud of dust is my goodbye

It's a long, long road to independence
But I'm leaving you for Tennessee
I've got demons riding shotgun
Telling me not to go
But what they don't know
Is I'm already gone
I'm already gone

They say it's easier as time goes by
Why won't these tears stop falling from my eyes
Letting you go wasn't what I planned
With every mile the more I understand

It's a long, long road to independence
But I'm leaving you for Tennessee
I've got demons riding shotgun
Telling me not to go
But what they don't know
Is I'm already gone
I'm already gone

I almost turned around on highway 65
And in Arkansas I pulled off at a truck stop just to cry
I put myself together at the Chatham county line
And I thought about my heartache and all the reasons why I should drive
Just drive

It's a long, long road to independence
But I'm leaving you for Tennessee
I've got demons riding shotgun
Telling me not to go
But what they don't know
No, what they don't know
Is I'm already gone
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
