Long Long Gone

I remember how we cried the night we ran out of places to hide
We found out then we could never be friends
After being searched alone, we took off for the road
While you stayed behind, I joined the lonely wandering kind

I'll be long, long, long gone

Got my kicks in taverns nestled out along the way
I met a lot of travelers, they had nothin' much to say
Left with nothin' to believe in, nothin' sacred in my soul
By day I stay broke and by night I rock and roll

I'll be long, long, long gone
Like a star in the night disappearin' in the sight of the dawn

All along the moonlit mountains and along the lonesome plains
I've been ten years runnin', yes, that much will never change
Still there's all sorts of prisons waitin' out along the way
I know there'll be a way, yes, I know there'll come a day

I'll be long, long, long gone
Like a dog sold south, like a dealer who done someone wrong
I'll be long, long, long gone

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Long gone
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, yes, sir, oh
Long gone
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Long gone
I'm gettin' my kicks, yeah, out on the road
You stay behind, I'm on the road
I'll be long gone, I'll be long gone

Long gone
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Long gone
Ah-ah, ah-ah
