Long Gone Lyrics

Blaze Foley Long Gone

Only kind of song that I can sing is a blues song
When everything is wrong ain't no happy song
Just a blues song

I mess around again got to hook (? some kid)
I don't wanna die a-drownin so I guess I better swim
You're gonna wish some day I'll be back your way
I'll be long gone

When I give myself I give all of me
And you may not believe me, baby, but you wait and see
You're gonna wonder where I am someday but you won't know

I got ants in my britches been turning pretty women down
I know I may be funny don't you treat me like a clown
You're gonna wish some day I'll be back your way
I'll be long gone

(break)

Love you have for me hides where I won't see it
But I see it
I know I could be wrong I keep hangin' on
Cause I feel it
​
Why don't you quite closin up your door and let me stay with you
I know I may be crazy but my love is true
You're gonna wish some day I'll be back your way
I'll be long gone
