letra de long time gone - oesch's die dritten
[songtext zu «long time gone»]
[verse 1]
daddy sits on a front porch swinging
looking out on a vacant field
used to be filled with burley t’bacca
now he knows it never will
my brother found work in indiana
my sister’s a nurse at the old folks home
mum’s still cooking too much for supper
and me, i’ve been a long time gone
[chorus]
been a long time gone
no, i ain’t hoed a row since i don’t know when
long time gone
and it ain’t coming back again
[verse 2]
deliah plays that old church piano
sitting out on her daddy’s farm
she always thought that we’d be together
lord, i never meant to do her harm
said she could hear me singin’ in the choir
me, i heard another song
i caught wind and hit the road running
and lord, i’ve been a long time gone
[chorus]
been a long time gone
lord, i ain’t had a prayer since i don’t know when
long time gone
and it ain’t coming back again
[bridge]
now me, i went to nashville
tryin’ to beat the big deal
playing down on broadway
gettin’ there the hard way
living from a tip jar
sleeping in my car
hocking my guitar
yeah, i’m gonna be a star, whoa
[verse 3]
now, me and deliah singing every sunday
watching the children and the garden grow
we listen to the radio to hear what’s cookin’
but the music ain’t got no soul
now they sound tired but they don’t sound haggard
they’ve got money but they don’t have cash
they got junior but they don’t have hank
i think, i think, i think
[refrain]
the rest is a long time gone
no, i ain’t hit the roof since i don’t know when
long time gone
and it ain’t coming back
i said a long time gone
no, i ain’t honked the h-rn since i don’t know when
long time gone
and it ain’t coming back again
[outro]
i said a long time gone
uh!
