Gone Long Gone

(альбом: Small Town Hymns - 2010)

I've spent my whole life running from the truth
Blamed it on the women and I blamed it on the booze
When you want what you ain't got, you lose what you do
And she'll be gone, long gone

I've set fire to bridges just to watch them come undone
Fought so many battles, and yet a single war I've won
Why play the game when you know the outcome?
She'll be gone, long gone

Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talking to the sun [?] supposed to be
And I know one day she won't be coming back
Naw she ain't ever coming back

I've been known to let my pride get in the way
Of saying the important things she needed me to say
Like telling her "I'm sorry babe, let's try it your way"
Now she's gone, long gone

Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talking to the sun [?] supposed to be
And I know one day she won't be coming back
No she ain't ever coming back

Now I'm left to think about what might have been
If I'd have only listened to her and tried to comprehend
Not taking her for granted time and time again
She won't be gone, long gone

Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talking to the sun [?] supposed to be
I know one day she won't be coming back
No she ain't ever coming back
No she ain't ever coming back
