Goodbye Mr. Gray,
Even though I voted
Against the recall, I had some reserves
About your skills
As the leader of our state.

You crawled out with your head down
From the failed economy
We needed more than dot-coms
More than high technology.

And it seems to me, you spent your term
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
To bring money in.
And I think I voted for you,
But who am I trying to kid?
Your passion burned out long before
Your career ever did.

Schwartzenegger's tough
In all those roles he ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
But being Governor's not the same.

When the power died,
All the press was hounding you
And all that Texas had to say
There was nothing that they knew.

And it seems to me, you spent your term
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
To bring money in.
And I think I voted for you,
But who am I trying to kid?
Your passion burned out long before
Your career ever did.

Goodbye Mr. Gray
Seems unfair for you to
Take all the blame,
You were likeable enough
Though you did have two last names.

Goodbye Mr. Gray
Good luck finding another job, I know its tough
Unemployment's high,
And there just isn't enough.

And it seems to me, you spent your term
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
To bring money in.
And I think I voted for you,
But who am I trying to kid?
Your passion burned out long before
Your career ever did.

Your passion burned out long before
Your career ever did.
