Jesse works till midnight in nowhere USA 
Pumping gas checking oil on a lonely interstate 
Walking down the highway, he looks up to the sky 
And he asks Dear Lord how will I make it by? 
You know he didn't have a nickel to his name 
Although he had a one way ticket just the same 
Yes, you know it's true, it's time to 
leave those things behind you. 

Treat everyday like Yesterday's Gone 
Treat everyday like Yesterday's Gone 
Ah move along, Yesterday's Gone 
Yesterday is Gone, gone, gone, baby it's far gone 

With a bag thrown over his shoulder 
Jesse had to hitch a ride 
All his friends said he's crazy, you'll 
never get to the other side 
With a hope and a dream and a 
promise, that's really all he had 
But he don't care 
Aint nothing gonna turn out that bad 
You know he didn't have a nickel to his name 
Although he had a one way ticket just the same 
Yes you know it's true, it's time to 
leave those things behind you 

Treat everyday like Yesterday's Gone 
Treat everyday like Yesterday's Gone 
Ah move along, Yesterday's Gone 
Yesterday is Gone, gone, gone, baby it's far gone 

Yea ain't that right boys - C'mon hit it 
Many times I've wondered where Jesse is today 
Is he on top of the world or knockin' at heaven's gate 
The one thing I remember as I look up to the sky 
Was the look on his face as he waved goodbye 
He said Yesterday's Gone 
Yesterday's Gone...
