Possible gatesong

"Jet Lag"
by Simple Plan
(feat. Natasha Bedingfield)
What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
Back at home you feel so far
Waitin for the phone to ring
It's gettin lonely livin upside down
I don't even wanna be in this town
Tryin to figure out the time zones makin me crazy
You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
It's drivin me mad
I miss you so bad
and my heart heart heart is so jetlagged
What time is it where you are?
5 more days and I'll be home
I keep your picture in my car
I hate the thought of you alone
I've been keepin busy all time
Just to try to keep you off my mind
Tryin to figure out the time zones makin me crazy
I miss you so bad
I wanna share your horizon
and see the same sunrising
Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me.

The guy in the song thinks he has a lot of timezones to cover?  He's got nothing on Doug. 8)
Edit: can't believe I forgot to list the name of the band. 8P

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Another possible gatesong, perhaps for a world that Doug is happy to be leaving.
Already Gone by The Eagles
Well, I heard some people talkin’ just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you’ll soon find out it’s true
And then you’ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
’cause I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo
The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light (that’s right)
And I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo
Well I know it wasn’t you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn’t you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
But me, I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song
’cause I’m already gone
Yes, I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song
’cause I’m already gone
Yes, I’m already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night

That is a good one, but I think I prefer the version with the other female guest vocalist, whose name I already forgot despite just watching it a minute ago. (the brunette, M-something) Her voice just blends better with his, I think.

"Already Gone" reminds me of "Know Ye the Land?", which I won't repost in its entirety here, but it's very much a song about gladly leaving a place behind. The last verse:

Know ye the land where the bare rocks and old pines
Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime?
Where the last hopes of thousands, dissolved by the gold mines,
To many bring suffering, drive others to crime?
How happy I'll be when on board of the steamer!
How joyful, I cannot find language to tell!
When wishing each miner, each loafer, each schemer,
Cariboo and its horrors a final farewell!

The four preceding verses detail precisely how dystopian the Cariboo gold rush was (very).
