Mama they say the snow this winter Beat you to the ground But I'm a long time gone, long time gone Wish I could see the blazin' sunset Falling right into the bay But I'm a long time gone, long time gone * To dream the dream that's over To live and love again Oh my America And to be where my footsteps lead me over To be born again tonight I want to be there on our back porch Looking on down the road But I'm a long time gone, long time gone The troubles here, they pass me by I want to get home to you But I'm a long time gone, long time gone * Repeat Lonely days, lonely nights Caught up in someone else's fight I'm holdin' on, and you're so strong All I want to be is just holdin' you tonight [INSTRUMENTAL] * Repeat [Short instrumental] * Repeat and fade out
