Long Time Gone |
Daddy sits on the front porch swingin' |
Look in' out on a bacon field |
Used to be filled with burning tobacco |
Now he knows it never will |
My brother found work in Indiana |
Sisters a nurse at the old folks home |
Momma still cooking too much for supper |
And me I’ve been a long time gone |
Baby long time gone |
No I aint hoed a row since I don’t know when |
Long time gone |
And I aint comin' back again |
Amilia plays that old church piano |
Sittin' out on her daddy’s farm |
She always thought that we’d be together |
Lord I never meant to do her harm |
Said she could her me singin in the choir |
Me I heard another song |
I caught wind and hit the road runnin' |
And lord i’ve been long time gone |
Baby long time gone |
Lord i aint had a purse since I don’t know when |
Long time gone |
And it aint commin' back again |
Now me I went to Nashville |
Trying to beat the big deal |
Playing down to Broadway |
Getin' in the ahrd way |
Livin' from a tip jar |
Sleepin' in mah car |
Huggin' my guitar ya im gonna be a staaaar |
Now me until your singin' every sunday |
Watchin' the children in the garden grove |
Listen to the radio to hear what’s cookin' |
But the music aint got… NO SOUL! |
Now they sound tired but they don’t sound haggard |
They got money but they don;t got cash |
They got Junior but they don;t got Hank |
I thank |
I thank |
I thank the rest is… |
Long time gone |
No I aint hit the roof since i don’t know when |
Long time gone |
And it aint commin' back |
I said Long time gone |
No I aint parked a Ford since I don’t know when |
Long time gone |
And it aint commin' back agaiiiin |
I said a long time, long time, long time gone |
Oh it’s been a long time |
Long time, long time, long time gooooone |
Oh it’s been a long |
Tiiiiime |
Gooooone |
Long time, long time, long time gone… yea yea! |
