Lyrics
0:23Daddy sits on a' front porch swinging
0:26Looking out on a vacant field
0:28Used to be filled with burley tobacca
0:31Now he knows it never will
0:34My Brothers found work in Indiana
0:37My Sisters a nurse at the old folks home
0:40Mama still cooking too much for supper
0:42And me I've been a long time gone
0:45Been a long time gone
0:48No I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when
0:51Long time gone
0:53And it ain't coming back again
1:07Deliah plays that old church piano
1:09Sitting out on her daddy's farm
1:12She always thought that we'd be together
1:15Lord I never meant to do her harm
1:18Said she could hear me singin' in the choir
1:21Me I heard another song
1:24I caught wind and hit the road runnin'
1:27And Lord I've been a long time gone
1:29Been a long time gone
1:32Lord I ain't had a prayer since I don't know when
1:35Long time gone
1:38And it ain't comin' back again
2:03Now me I went to Nashville
2:05Tryin' to beat the big deal
2:06Playin' down on Broadway
2:08Gettin' there the hard way
2:09Living from a tip jar
2:10Sleeping in my car
2:12Hocking my guitar
2:13Yeah I'm gonna be a star
2:20Now me and Deliah singing every Sunday
2:23Watching the children and the garden grow
2:26We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin'
2:29But the music ain't got no soul
2:31Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard
2:34They've got money but they don't have Cash
2:37They got Junior but they don't have Hank
2:40I think I think I think
2:42The rest is a long time gone
2:45No I ain't hit the roof since I don't know when
2:49Long time gone
2:51And it ain't coming back
2:52I said a long time gone
2:55No I ain't honked the horn since I don't know when
2:58Long time gone
3:00And it ain't coming back again
3:14I said a long time long time long time gone
3:20Well it's been a long time
3:25Long time long time long time gone
3:31Oh it's been a long time gone
3:37Long time long time long time gone
3:42Yeah yeah
