Mama they say the snow this winter

Beat you to the ground

But I'm a long time gonelong time gone

Wish I could see the blazin' sunset

Falling right into the bay

But I'm a long time gonelong 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 gonelong time gone

The troubles herethey pass me by

I want to get home to you

But I'm a long time gonelong time gone



* repeat



Lonely dayslonely nights

Caught up in someone else's fight

I'm holdin' onand you're so strong

All I want to be is just holdin' you tonight



[instrumental]



* repeat



[short instrumental] * repeat and fade out
