LONG GONE

See those girls on the city rise.
See them walk with that look in their eyes.
They know where they’re goin,’ they know what to do.
If you’re real lucky they might include you.
But I’m sittin’ at home, I don’t stay up late.
I go to bed at a quarter to eight.
I got the blues real bad, my drive is gone,
Since my baby left me all alone

Chorus
I’m long gone, from my baby.
Long gone, ain’t seen her lately.
I’m long gone. From my baby,
Ain’t got nothin’ left but to sing this song.

I saw one lady that made my old blood boil.
She said: “Come here child and check my oil…”
I said: “Oh no honey, not tonight.
My baby’s just gone and it don’t seem right.
‘sides I’m getting’ kinda old
Losing the urge it the truth was told.”
She said: “Oh no honey, that’s news to me.
I think your state of mind is momentary.”

Chorus
