Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well that must be my girl, yours don't look like that
Well that must be my girl, yours don't look like that
I know my baby, she's so round and fat
Baby-baby-baby, gone gone gone, gone gone gone
Gone gone gone, well I'm gone gone gone
Well I'm gone out, gone on down the line
Well, I wanna round and square dance
Everybody jumpin' tonight

Yeah, I wanna round and square dance
Everybody jumpin' tonight
I love my baby with all my lovin' might
Baby-baby-baby, gone gone gone
Well I'm gone gone gone
Well I'm gone gone gone, well I'm gone gone gone
Well I'm gone gone, gone on down the line

Well that must be my girl, yours don't look like that
I said it must be my girl, yours don't look like that
I know my baby, she's so big and fat
Baby-baby-baby, gone gone gone
Baby-baby-baby, gone gone gone
Ah, I'm gone gone gone, well I'm gone gone gone




Well I'm gone gone gone, come go with me
Let's go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carl Perkins's song Gone Gone Gone portray a man who is confident about his girlfriend, boasting to another man that the girl he is looking at can't be his girl, because his girl is much rounder and heavier. He is feeling elated to be out on the town and wants to dance, specifically round dancing and square dancing, and is excited that everyone else is jumping tonight. He is dedicating this night to his girlfriend, whom he loves deeply and is proud of. The song is an invocation of the simple joys of life, where a night of dancing and celebrating is all that is needed to feel alive and happy.
