Long Time Gone Lyrics

Well, I been gone a long time
The time has passed us by
When I know it won't be long 'til I get home

I see your smilin' face
Well, I just can't erase
All those good ol' happy days when we were 'lone

Well, I'm comin' through the mountains
On my way back home
I see that snow fallin' on that good old mountain ground

And I know it won't be long
I'm in your lovin' arms
And we'll live together and things 'll be better for you
A' you and me, a' can't you see?

Woman, I been a long time gone
To be a thousand miles from home
I know I've done you wrong

And I know it won't be long
I'm in your lovin' arms
Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone

When I hit that mountain road
I got five miles left to go
I smell that good old mountain air and old pine trees

And as she stood alone
With a pretty white dress on
I felt that good old mountain air blowin' up a breeze

Woman, I been a long time gone
To be a thousand miles from home
I know I've done you wrong

And I know it won't be long
I'm in your lovin' arms
Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone
