Song Lyrics

Daddy sits on the front porch swinging
Looking out on a vacant field
Used to be filled with burly t`bacca
Now he knows it never will
My Brother found work in Indiana
Sisters a nurse at the old folks home
Mama`s still cooking too much for supper
And me Ive 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 coming back again

Deliah plays that old church pian`a
Sitting out on her daddys 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`ve 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
Living from a tip jar
Sleeping in my car
Hocking my guitar
Yeah Im gonna be a star

Now, me and Deliah singing every Sunday
Watching 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`ve 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 dont know when
Long time gone
And it ain`t coming back
I said a long time gone
No, I ain`t honked the horn since I dont know when
Long time gone
And it ain`t coming back again

I said a long time, long time, long time gone
Well its 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
