Long Gone

And you don't want none lady, of what I've got to share
I've got flesh between my teeth from livin' in a snare
The more I bite and struggle, oh, the less I'd like to care
That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair
That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair

And I'm long, long gone
Ain't maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain't maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love

And you don't want none lady, oh, take it from me
The charm that I give you was anything but free
It'll cost you years, and many tears, and it's not yours to keep
I poison everything I touch like nothing else that breathes
I poison everything I touch like nothing else that breathes

And I'm long, long gone
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love

And you don't want none lady, oh, I can't be your man
I live deep in a holler between the holy and the damned
And the only thing that keeps the peace are the voices in my head
And Lord I pray that some day I'll find the time to wed
And Lord I pray that some day I'll find the time to wed

And I'm long, long gone
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love
