Gone a Long Time

Well, I'm heading south to Georgia for two shows in a row
Didn't get much sleep last night the way these drivers roll
Heaven seems so far away
I believe my weary soul will be gone a long time (long gone, long time)

I heard my baby laughing like a jackal in the night
I looked in through the window and I saw an awful sight
Well, he took off my overcoat and she turned out the light
And I'll be gone a long time (long gone, long time)

Well, a Jay bird sees a little worm a'dancing on the ground
I guess there ain't no hiding place no matter where you're found
I just came from Traverse City, now I'm Withlacoochee bound
I'll be gone a long time (long gone, long time)

Jesus took the water and turned it into wine
Me, I'll take them pretty girls and try to make 'em mine
And I tell 'em not to worry, that I'll see them down the line
And I'll be gone a long time (long gone, long time)

Well, I just keep a-rolling to the rhythm of the band
And if you think I'm lucky boys you just don't understand
I'll pick this old guitar until my fingers turn to sand
And I'll be gone a long time (long gone, long time)
I'll be gone a long time (long gone, long time)
