Mama they say the snow this winter
Beat you to the ground
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone
Wish I could see the blazin sunset
Falling right into the bay
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone

* To dream the dream that's over
To live and love again
Oh my america
And to be where my footsteps lead me over
To be born again tonight

I want to be there on our back porch
Looking on down the road
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone
The troubles here, they pass me by
I want to get home to you
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone

* Repeat

Lonely days, lonely nights
Caught up in someone elses fight
I'm holdin on, and you're so strong
All I want to be is just holdin you tonight

[instrumental]

* Repeat

[short instrumental] * repeat and fade out
