This is a song that I wrote a few years ago. It is on my self titled album, "Time Passes Quickly".
Enjoy.
Lyrics:
VERSE 1:
MET YOU AT THE PAY PHONE
TALKED ALL NIGHT ABOUT LOVE
TRIED TO CASH IN ON WHAT I HAD
BUT IT COST ME FIFTY BUCKS
ONCE LOOKED IN YOUR EYES,
I BELIEVED YOU FOR SOME TIME
YOU STOMPED ON MY POOR SOUL,
AND ROBBED MY HEART BLIND
CHORUS:
I"LL BE GONE, LONG GONE,
I’LL BE LONG GONE
I"LL BE GONE, LONG GONE,
I’LL BE LONG GONE
LIKE THE SETTING SUN
VERSE 2:
SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME,
YOU’D BETTER WATCH YOUR OWN BACK
IT’S HARD TO WALK STRAIGHT FORWARD
WHEN YOU’RE LOOKIN
OVER YOU’RE SHOULDER
SPENT MOST MY LIFE IN THE PEN,
WAITING FOR THE WARDEN TO SAY WHEN
NOW THAT I’M FREE, I DONT KNOW IF I WANT TO BE
CHORUS:
I"LL BE GONE, LONG GONE,
I’LL BE LONG GONE
I"LL BE GONE, LONG GONE,
I’LL BE LONG GONE
LIKE THE SETTING SUN
BRIDGE:
TRAVELED A MILLION MILES,
I'VE MISSED YOUR SMILE
NEXT TO ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT
NOW THAT I RECALL,
I MISS MY OWN SMILE
HAVEN’T SEEN IT FOR AWHILE
VERSE 3:
READ A NOTE FROM MY MAMA, SHE SAID YOU DOIN ALRIGHT?
I'M HANGIN IN,
PUTTIN UP A FIGHT
BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN MY DAY,
NO NEED TO GIVE ME PRAISE
IF I COULD DO IT AGAIN,
I’D STAND UP AND FIGHT THE WIND
CHORUS:
I"LL BE GONE, LONG GONE,
I’LL BE LONG GONE
I"LL BE GONE, LONG GONE,
I’LL BE LONG GONE
LIKE THE SETTING SUN
