Dixie Chicks - Long Time Gone Lyrics

Send "Long Time Gone" ringtone to your cell

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 horn 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
