Five Long Years

Well your momma ain't heard from you,
In five long years,
Well she drank her pain,
And washed it down in tears,

When she told you,
Her love doesn't fold,

Well your daddy ain't heard from you,
In five long years,
He been on the road forever,
Left you here,

So you drink every night to sleep and,
It never takes away the pain,
So you roll your stone,
Forever and again,

Honey Don't look back no more,
Honey Don't look back no more,
Cause you played the rebels hand,

And now your momma ain't heard from you,
In ten long years,
Oh and she's prayin' you call,
Or write her just to hear,

Oh did you behave,
Did you behave

Honey Don't look back no more,
Honey Don't look back no more,
Cause you played the rebels hand,

(Instrumental)

Well your daddy ain't heard from you,
In ten long years,
And your momma can't bear to think,
You disappeared,

Why can't you behave,
Why don't you behave,

'Cause you coulda'
Died so long ago,
And took away the pain,
Oh you took away the pain,

Now the family tellin' stories,
'Bout your fate,
And they talk about how long you've been away,

Why can't you behave,
Can't you wait,
Won't you wait,
Won't you wait,
Ran away,
Ran away,

Ran away,

Liar,
Liar,
Liar,
Liar fly to me,

(Solo)

Yeah,
Oh listen don't look back no more,
Don't you look away,

When your friends from all around,
Forget your fame,
And your family ground a stone,
To rest your name,
Would you wait,
Yeah you wait,

Watch 'em walkin' around,
They got their rights to pay,
I,
I'll wait,
