Long Time Gone - Dixie Chicks (南方小鸡)

Written by：Darrell Scott

Daddy sits on a' front porch swinging

Looking out on a vacant field

Used to be filled with burley tobacca

Now he knows it never will

My brothers found work in Indiana

My sisters a nurse at the old folks home

Mama still cooking too much for supper

And me I've been a long time gone

Been a long time gone

No I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when

Long time gone

And it ain't coming back again

Deliah plays that old church piano

Sitting out on her daddy's farm

She always thought that 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'

And Lord I've been a long time gone

Been a long time gone

Lord 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

Tryin' to beat the big deal

Playin' down on Broadway

Gettin' 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 Deliah singing every Sunday

Watching 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've 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 hit the roof since I don't know when

Long time gone

And it ain't coming back

I said a long time gone

No I ain't honked the horn since I don't know when

Long time gone

And it ain't coming back again

I said a long time long time long time gone

Well it's been a long time

Long time long time long time gone

Oh it's been a long time gone

Long time long time long time gone

Yeah yeah
