Long Time Gone - 38 Special

Well I been gone a long time

The time has passed us by

And I know it won’t be long 'till I get home

I see your smilin' face, well I just can’t erase

All those good ol' happy days when we were 'lone

Well I’m comin' through the mountains

On my way back home

I see that snow fallin' on that good old mountain ground

And I know it won’t be long, I’m in your lovin' arms

We’ll live together and things 'll be better for you

A' you and me, a' can’t cha see?

Woman, I been a long time gone

To be a thousand miles from home

I know I’ve done you wrong

And I know it won’t be long

I’m in your lovin' arms

Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone

When I hit that mountain road

I got five miles left to go

I smell that good old mountain air and old and pine trees

And as she stood alone with a pretty white dress on

I felt that good old mountain air blowin' up a breeze

Woman, I been a long time gone

To be a thousand miles from home

I know I’ve done you wrong

And I know it won’t be long

I’m in your lovin' arms

Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone
