Long Gone

Long Gone

And I know the red dirt will
Stick to my feet as I walk through
I left my car in the driveway

And how the trees have grown
It doesn’t look like my old home
And whose is that dog
Dead on the highway

Through the creek
The cattleyard
The lemon tree
But it’s long gone now

The red dirt stuck to my feet
My curly hair and my Fossey’s jeans and my
Brown eyes made me uncool
With the blonde-haired tough girls at my school

You sang songs in a minor key
Sad words ripped right through me
You had no love for the middle ground

Sad words held me tight
I loved you then because you made it alright
I need it now but you’re not around
