Long Time Gone

In the style of

The Chicks

Lyrics

daddy sits
on the front porch
swingin'
lookin' out
on a vacant field

used to be filled
with burley tobacco
now he knows it
never will

my brother
found work
in indiana
sister's a nurse
at the
old folks home

mama's still cookin'
too much for supper
and me i been
a long time gone

been a long time gone
no i ain't hoed a row
since
i don't know when
long time gone
and it ain't
comin' back again

delia 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
hear me
singin' in the choir
me i heard
another song

i caught wind and
hit the road runnin'
and lord
i been
a long time gone

been a long time gone
lord i ain't
had a prayer
since
i don't know when

long time gone
and it ain't
comin' back
again

now me
i went to nashville
tryin' to be the
big deal

playin' down on
broadway
gettin' there
the hard way
livin' from a tip jar
sleepin' in my car

hockin' my guitar
yeah i'm gonna be
a star
now me and delia
singin' every sunday
watchin' the children
and the garden grow

we listen
to the radio
to hear
what's cookin'
but the music ain't
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
a long time gone

no i ain't
hit the roof
since
i don't know when
long time gone

and it ain't
comin' back
i said
a long time gone

no i ain't
honked a horn
since
i don't know when
long time gone
and it ain't
comin' back
again

i said a long time
a long time
long time gone
woh 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
yeah yeah
