"Goin' Gone" is a song written by Pat Alger, Bill Dale and Fred Koller, and recorded by American country music artist Kathy Mattea. It was released in September 1987 as the first single from the album Untasted Honey. The song was Mattea's ninth country hit and the first of four number one country singles.
