Classic Rock/Help with Rock Song

Question
Hi - I heard a song with lyrics that included "drinking my wine and it won't matter cause I'm gone, gone gone" - gone gone gone was repeated several times in the song - about a 5 minute song?? with about 2 minutes of great guitar at the end of the song.  Sounded classic early 70s - a little like james gang Stop, but not as long.  Gone Gone Gone is not the name of the song, I don't think, please help.  It is not a regular song you would hear everyday on a typical classic rock station.

Answer

Traffic
Hi and thanks for the question. I believe the song your looking for is Rock & Roll Stew by Traffic. Below are the lyrics. thanks again for the question and please rate my answer.


Sitting in a transit all night long
Playing clubs and rocking right on
The road's much too long since I've been wasting my time
Wish I was home again sipping my wine

And I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
It's where I'm from, I'm on the road again

LA to London is a mighty long time
Eight hours flying can bring you down
Sitting near a suit who's a red-neck going,
Eyes are moving but there's no life showing

Now that I'm home again
Things are much better, biding my time with my little go-getter
No matter what they say, no matter what they do,
Gonna end up in the middle of that rock & roll stew
Gone, gone, gone...

    CommentSkypiper - thanks so much - that is it. I appreciate you following up so quickly. If you would like a few CDs as a thanks you, I would be more than happy to burn a few with some - what I think - is good stuff that is a little rare or some alternative versions. Please just let me know and provide me with a po box or address to send to. Thanks again.
