Daddy sits on the front porch swingin'
Look in' out on a vacant field
Used to be filled with burley 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
[chorus]
Been a long time gone
No I aint hoed a row since I don't know when
Long time gone
And I aint comin' back again
Deliah 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
[chorus]
Been a 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 on Broadway
Getin' there the hard way
Livin' from a tip jar
Sleepin' in my car
Hockin' my guitar yeah im gonna be a star
Now me and Deliah singin' every sunday
Watchin' the children and the garden grow
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 have cash
They got Junior but they don't have Hank
I think
I think
I think the rest is....
[chorus]
Long time gone
No I aint hit the roof since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it ain't commin' back
I said long time gone
No I aint honked a horn since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it aint commin' back again
I said a long time, long time, long time gone
Oh it's been a long time
Long time, long time, long time gone
Oh it's been a long
Time
Gone
Long time, long time, long time gone....yea yea!
