I'm a Long Gone Daddy

Well, all you want to do is sit around and talk

And now I've got enough and I'm a-steppin' out

I'm leavin' now, hey, I'm leavin' now

Hey, I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow.



Oh, I've been in the doghouse for so doggone long

That when I get a kiss I think that somethin's wrong

So I'm leavin' now, hey, I'm leavin' now

'Cause, I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow.



--- Instrumental ---

(Spoken: Hey, I'm leavin now.)



I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right

You go get yourself a man that wants to fuss and fight

So I'm leavin' now, hey,I'm leavin' now

'Cause I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow.



Lord, you start your jaws a waggin' and they never stop

You never hush your mouth until I blow my top

So I'm leavin' now, hey, I'm leavin' now

Yeah, I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow.



--- Instrumental ---

(Spoken: Move on awhile.)



I remember back when you were nice and sweet

Things have changed you'd rather fight than eat

So I'm leavin' now, yeah, I'm leavin' now

'Cause I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow.



Yeah, I'm gonna do some ridin' on the midnight train

I'm taking ev'rything except my ball and chain

Well, I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now

'Cause I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow.



Yeah, I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow...
