Dixie Chicks - Long Time Gone Lyrics
Daddy sits on a front porch swingingLooking out on a vacant fieldUsed to be filled with burley tbaccaNow he knows it never willMy brothers found work in indianaM sisters a nurse at the old folks homeMama still cooking too much for supperAnd me Ive been a long time gone[chorus:]Been a long time goneNo, I aint hoed a row since I dont know whenLong time goneAnd it aint coming back againDeliah plays that ol church pianaSitting out on her daddys farmShe always thought that wed be togetherLord I never meant to do her harmSaid she could hear me singin in the choirMe, I heard another songI caught wind and hit the road runninAnd lord, Ive been a long time gone[chorus:]Been a long time goneLord, I aint had a prayer since I dont know whenLong time goneAnd it aint comin back again[instrumental][bridge]Now me, I went to nashville,Tryin to beat the big dealPlayin down on broadwayGettin there the hard wayLiving from a tip jarSleeping in my carHocking my guitarYeah Im gonna be a starNow, me and deliah singing every sundayWatching the children and the garden growWe listen to the radio to hear whats cookinBut the music aint got no soulNow they sound tired but they dont sound haggardTheyve got money but they dont have cashThey got junior but they dont have hankI think, I think, I thinkThe rest is a long time goneNo, I aint hit the roof since I dont know whenLong time goneAnd it aint coming backI said a long time goneNo, I aint honked the horn since I dont know whenLong time goneAnd it aint coming back againI said a long time, long time, long time goneWell its been a long timeLong time, long time, long time goneOh, its been a long time goneLong time, long time, long time goneYeah yeah
