Long Gone

Gonna jump on a Greyhound bus down to New Orleans

Gonna pack my last clean shirt and a pair of jeans

Gonna quit my job at the foundry, I never liked it anyway

And I'm gonna be long gone today

And you can tell your mommy and daddy that I sure am sorry

But I don't believe I'll fit into your plans right now

Besides, I'm ten years older than you, honey

Don't you see what I'm tryin' to say?

I'm gonna be long gone today

Long gone

Out of your life in a flash

Long gone

'Cause the travelin' man's kinda love, honey, just don't last

And when you open up your pretty blue eyes tomorrow mornin'

You're gonna feel the warm sunshine healin' all your pain

So don't beat down on me, darlin', I loved you yesterday

But I'm gonna be long gone today

Long gone

Out of your life in a flash

Long gone

'Cause the travelin' man's kinda love, honey, just don't last

And when you open up your pretty blue eyes tomorrow mornin'

You're gonna feel the warm sunshine healin' all your pain

So don't beat down on me, darlin', I loved you yesterday

But I'm gonna be long gone today

Yes, I'm gonna be long gone today

Honey, I'm gonna be long gone today

Hey, hey, hey
