Turnpike Troubadours - 1968 Lyrics
One, Two, Three,There ain’t a thing in the world to take me backLike a dark-haired girl in a CadillacOn main street of an old forgotten townThe sun light shines in fine white linesOn weathered stores with open signsThey may as well just close ‘em down.Chorus:And you look like 1968 or was it ‘69When I heard you caught a bulletWell I guess you’re doing fineAnd you speak of revolutionLike it’s some place that you’ve beenWell you’ve been a long time goneGood too see you my old friend.Oh now that sun is gone awayReplaced instead by silver raysOf moonlight falling on the avenueOh and I could sleep if you would driveI just can’t keep my mind aliveAnd you’ve got nothing better else to doAnd we've all been looking for youLike a hobo you walk inWell how the mighty all have fallenHow the holy all have sinnedIs that the clattering of sabersOr the cool September windsWell you’ve been a long time goneGood to see you my old friend.And there’s just two times a day like thisYou find this kind of blissfulnessThe sun it sets and rises in the morn.And we’re shakin hands; I rub my eyesFree up all my alibisJust a blinking like the day I was bornRepeat ChorusAnd when the rounds were fired that April you were on the balconyWhen ten thousand tear drops hit the ground in Memphis, TennesseeYou were a prideful rebel yell among a million marching men.And you’ve been a long time goneGood to see you my old friendWell you’ve been a long time goneGood to see you my old friend.
