dave dudley - long time gone lyrics

my 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
momma’s still cooking too much for supper
and me i’ve been a longtime gone
been a longtime gone
no i ain’t hoed a row since i don’t know when
longtime gone
and it ain’t comin’ back again
delia plays that old church piano
sittin’ out on her daddy’s farm
she always thought 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’g
and lord i been a longtime gone
been a longtime gone
lord i ain’t had a prayer since i don’t know when
longtime gone
and it ain’t comin’ back again
now me i went to nasville 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 longtime gone
no i ain’t hit the roof since i don’t know when
longtime gone
and it ain’t comin’ back i said
a longtime gone
no i ain’t honked a h-rn since i don’t know when
a longtime gone
and it ain’t comin’ back again
i said a longtime longtime longtime gone
oh it’s been a longtime
longtime longtime longtime gone
oh it’s been a longtime gone
longtime longtime longtime gone
yeah yeah
