My soul went walkin' but I stayed here
|
Feel like I been workin' for a thousand years
|
Chippin' away at this chain of my own lies
|
Climbin' a wall a hundred miles high
|
Well I woke up this morning on the other side
|
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
|
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
|
|
Same old faces it's the same old town
|
What once was laughs is draggin' me now
|
Waitin' on rain hangin' on for love
|
Words of forgiveness from some God above
|
Ain't no words of mercy comin' from on high
|
Oh no just a long goodbye
|
Yeah yeah just one long goodbye
|
|
Well I went to leave twenty years ago
|
Since then I guess I been packin' kinda slow
|
Sure did like that admirin' touch
|
Guess I liked it a little too much
|
|
The moon is high and here I am
|
Sittin' here with this hammer in hand
|
One more drink oughta ease the pain
|
Starin' at that last link in the chain
|
Well let's raise our glass and let the hammer fly
|
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
|
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
|
Kiss me baby and we're gonna fly
|
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
|
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
|
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
|
Kiss me baby 'cause we're gonna ride
|
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
|
