Long Gone

(Jerry Reed Hubbard)



Oh well, it's long gone, long gone

You got my baby and you're long gone

But I'll be a hangin' around

I know you're gonna put her down

She'll need someone that's true

When she wakes up one day

To find you're long gone, long gone.



You just wandered into town

Took her and you started messin' around, with my baby

You stole her heart 'cause she ain't used to your kind.

With your fancy clothes and your uptown style

It didn't take you but a little while to get your way

'Cause your pretty little lies she couldn't see behind.



And now it's long gone, long gone

You got my baby and you're long gone

But I'll be a hangin' around

I know you're gonna put her down

She'll need someone that's true

When she wakes up one day

To find you're long gone, long gone.

Well, a man in me would like to fight

To take you down by the river tonight

And rearrange your face

But that would make her hate the site of me.



So there's nothing left for me to do

Standin', watchin' that, the likes of me

Hurt the girl I love while she's too much

In love with you to see.



Oh well, it's long gone, long gone

You got my baby and you're long gone

But I'll be a hangin' around

I know you're gonna put her down

She'll need someone that's true

When she wakes up one day

To find you're long gone, long gone...
