Daddy sits on a?front porch swinging
  Looking out on a vacant field
  Used to be filled with burley t'bacca
  Now he knows it never will
  My Brothers found work in Indiana
  M' Sisters a nurse at the old folks home
  Mama still cooking too much for supper
  And me I÷Ře been a long time gone
  
  [Chorus:]
  Been a long time gone
  No, I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when
  Long time gone
  And it ain't coming back again
  
  Deliah plays that ol' church pian'a
  Sitting out on her daddy÷Ő farm
  She always thought that we'd be together
  Lord I never meant to do her harm
  Said she could hear me singin' in the choir
  Me, I heard another song
  I caught wind and hit the road runnin'
  And Lord, I've been a long time gone
  
  [Chorus:]
  Been a long time gone
  Lord, I ain't had a prayer since I don't know when
  Long time gone
  And it ain't comin' back again
  
  [Instrumental]
  
  [Bridge]
  Now me, I went to Nashville,
  Tryin' to beat the big deal
  Playin' down on Broadway
  Gettin' there the hard way
  Living from a tip jar
  Sleeping in my car
  Hocking my guitar
  Yeah I÷Ď gonna be a star
  
  Now, me and Deliah singing every Sunday
  Watching the children and the garden grow
  We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin?br> But the music ain't got no soul
  Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard
  They've 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 long time gone
  No, I ain't hit the roof since I don÷Ö know when
  Long time gone
  And it ain't coming back
  I said a long time gone
  No, I ain't honked the horn since I don÷Ö know when
  Long time gone
  And it ain't coming back again
  
  I said a long time, long time, long time gone
  Well it÷Ő been a long time
  
  Long time, long time, long time gone
  Oh, it's been a long time gone
  
  Long time, long time, long time gone
  Yeah yeah
