Lyrics Gone Too Long - Townes Van Zandt

I been gone too long
Too long gone, too long
I been travelin′ hard
I just can't get back home
Ah it′s hard to believe
I done all that much wrong
I wanna find me a seven
Sevens ain't so bad
Seven about the best friend
This poor boy ever had
Ah, you get you a seven
One and six don't seem so sad
I ain′t bein′ alone
Bein' alone too long
I′m sick of singin' this same ol′ lonesome song
I'm gonna find me a seven and darlin′
I'm comin' home
It′s lonesome down along this ol′ highway
Darlin' I ain′t stayin' here
I don′t intend to stay
You may not want me
I'm comin′ home anyway
When the sun comes creepin'
Over the mountain side
I at least lay down and tell myself I tried
I ain't like somebody gonna sit in no ditch and cry
I been gone too long
Too long gone, too long
Travelin′ hard I just can′t get back home
It's hard to believe
I done all that much wrong
Too long gone
Too long gone, too long
Travelin′ hard, I just can't get back home
It′s hard to believe
I done all that much wrong
Ah, it's hard to believe
I done all that much wrong
