Gone Too Long

(album: No Deeper Blue - 1994)

I been gone too long
Too long gone, too long
I been traveling hard
I just can't get back home
Ah it's hard to believe I done all that much wrong

I wanna find me a seven
Sevens ain't so bad
Seven about the best friend
This poor boy ever had
Ah you get you a seven
One and six don't seem so sad

I ain't being alone
Being alone too long
I'm sick of singing this same ol' lonesome song
I'm gonna find me a seven and darling
I'm coming home

It's lonesome down along this ol' highway
Darling I ain't staying here
I don't intend to stay
You may not want me I'm coming home anyway

When the sun comes creeping
Over the mountain side
I at least lay down and tell myself I tried
I ain't like somebody gonna sit in no ditch and cry

I been gone too long
Too long gone, too long
Traveling hard I just can't get back home
It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong

Too long gone
Too long gone, too long
Traveling hard, I just can't get back home
It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong
Ah it's hard to believe I done all that much wrong
