Lyric Gone too long

by Townes Van Zandt

I been gone too long
too long gone, too long
I been travelin hard
I just can t get back home
it s hard to believe I done all that much wrong


I wanna find me a seven
sevens ain t so bad
seven s about the best friend
this poor boy ever had
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
It s hard to believe I done all that much wrong
