๐ Lyrics
Yeah, 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's found work in Indiana
Sister's a nurse at the old folks' home
Mama's still cooking too much for supper
And me, I been a long time gone
Been a long time gone
I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it ain't comin' back again
Now, 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'
Lord, I been a long time gone
Been a long time gone
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, trying to be the big deal
Playing down on Broadway, getting there the hard way
Living from a tip jar, sleeping in my car
Hocking my guitar, yeah, I'm gonna be a star
Now me and Delia sing every Sunday
Watching the garden and the children grow
We listen to the radio to hear what's cooking
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 long time gone
No, I ain't honked a horn since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it ain't coming back again (long time gone)
No, I ain't honked a horn since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it ain't coming back again
Yeah
Yeah
Well, a long time, long time, long time gone
Lord, it's been a long time
A long time, long time, long time gone
Lord, it's been a long time gone
Well, a long time, long time, long time gone, yeah, yeah
Lookin' out on a vacant field
Used to be filled with burley tobacco
Now he knows it never will
My brother's found work in Indiana
Sister's a nurse at the old folks' home
Mama's still cooking too much for supper
And me, I been a long time gone
Been a long time gone
I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it ain't comin' back again
Now, 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'
Lord, I been a long time gone
Been a long time gone
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, trying to be the big deal
Playing down on Broadway, getting there the hard way
Living from a tip jar, sleeping in my car
Hocking my guitar, yeah, I'm gonna be a star

And it ain't coming back again (long time gone)
No, I ain't honked a horn since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it ain't coming back again
Yeah
Yeah
Well, a long time, long time, long time gone
Lord, it's been a long time
A long time, long time, long time gone
Lord, it's been a long time gone
Well, a long time, long time, long time gone, yeah, yeah
