09 Long Time Gone

Long Time Gone - by Jeff Mamett


(V) You wrapped me round your finger telling pretty little lies
No matter what I give you, you’re never satisfied
Each day you find a reason for us to fuss and fight
I wasn’t born to be your fool, let’s just say goodbye


(V) When I’m going out the front door, I hear the back door slam
At night I get back home from work and you’re stepping out again
The word is out all over town about your other man
I’m wise to you now darling, you need to understand


(V) You don’t miss your water until your well runs dry
And now you lost your good thing - you know the reason why
You’re a wrong doing woman with a cold cold heart of stone
When I hit the highway running - I’ll do some stepping of my own


(Ch) I’ll be a short time in leaving’
when you miss me - I’ll be long gone
You took your last chance and did me wrong
I’m a short time in leaving - I’ll be a long time gone

(after last chorus) Long time gone - Long time gone
I’m a short time in leaving - I’ll be a long time gone
