Daddy sits on the front porch swingin' Lookin' out on a vacant field Used to be filled with burly tobacco Now he knows it never will My brother found work in Indiana Sister's a nurse at the old folks home Momma's still cookin' too much for supper And me I've been a longtime gone Been a longtime gone No I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when Longtime gone And it ain't comin' back again Delia plays that ol' church piano Sittin' 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 singing in the choir Me I heard another song I caught wind and hit the road runnin' And Lord I been a longtime gone Been a longtime gone Letras de cancionesLord I ain't had a prayer since I don't know when Longtime gone And it ain't comin' back again Now me I went to Nashville Tryin' to be the big deal Playin' down on Broadway Gettin' there the hard way Livin' from a tip jar Sleepin' in my car Hockin' my guitar Yeah I'm gonna be a star Now me and Delia singin' every Sunday Watchin' 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 got money but they don't have cash They got junior but they don't have hank I think, I think, I think... The rest is... A longtime gone No I ain't hit the roof since I don't know when Longtime gone And it ain't comin' back I said A longtime gone No I ain't honked the horn since I don't know when Longtime gone And it ain't comin' back again I said a longtime longtime longtime gone Oh it's been a longtime Longtime longtime longtime gone Oh it's been a long time gone Longtime longtime longtime gone Yeah, yeah From Letras Mania
