Long Gone Songtext
von Eddie Rabbitt

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 goin' to be long gone today

And you can tell your mommy and daddy
That I sure am sorry
I don′t believe I fit into your plans right now
Besides, I'm ten years older than you anyway
Don't you see what I′m tryin′ to say
I'm goin′ to be long gone today


Long gone, out of your life in a flash
Long gone, oh, the travelin' mans got to love
Honey, it just don′t last
And when you open up your pretty blue eyes
Tomorrow mornin'
You′re gonna feel the ball of sun shinin' on your face
So don't weep down on me darlin′
I loved you yesterday
And I′m goin' to be long gone today

Long gone, out of your life in a flash
Long gone, oh, the travelin′ mans gotta love
Honey, it just don't last
And when you open up your pretty blue eyes
Tomorrow mornin′
You're gonna feel the ball of sun shinin′ on your face
So don't weep 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
