Long Gone

And you don't want none lady, of what I've got to share I've got flesh between my teeth from livin' in a snare The more I bite and struggle, oh, the less I'd like to care That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair And I'm long, long gone Ain't maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love Ain't maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love And you don't want none lady, oh, take it from me The charm that I give you was anything but free It'll cost you years, and many tears, and it's not yours to keep I poison everything I touch like nothing else that breathes I poison everything I touch like nothing else that breathes And I'm long, long gone Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love And you don't want none lady, oh, I can't be your man I live deep in a holler between the holy and the damned And the only thing that keeps the peace are the voices in my head And Lord I pray that some day I'll find the time to wed And Lord I pray that some day I'll find the time to wed And I'm long, long gone Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love
