Long Gone

Roll tide certified license plate
Tell me, what has got you so low?
Weatherman on the TV says there's a drought comin' in
Why don't you loosen up before you go?

'Cause there's hard times rolling down the Avenue
Drunk and loud and mean
Whistleblowing guns a'smokin'
Kickin' over everything

I'm holdin' out for better weather (40 days and nights)
Doors are sealed up tight (ain't no lie)
I ain't leavin' for a got dang reason
No, they're never gonna take me alive

Someday they're gonna see it all go back to being
Just as wonderful as way back when
Hell, I'll be long gone by then
I used to pray every mornin'
Kneel before my queen size bed
Dear Lord, there's a just a couple of things I'd like to
Do before I'm dead

Find the lovin' of a woman (true love)
Raise up a couple of kin (brown eyed kids)
How much longer can a brother wonder if he never get no rest?

Well, but all my years are wasted 'cause I spent my time chasin'
On the wrong side of town
Yeah, she'll be long gone by now

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm
