Karaoké Long Time Gone Nathan Carter

Daddy sits on the front porch swingin' lookin' out on a bakin' field

Used to be filled with burley tobacco now he knows it never will

My brother found work in Indiana

Sister's a nurse at the old folks home

Mama's still cookin' too much for supper me I been a long time gone

Well a long time gone no I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when

Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again

My Delia plays that old church piano sittin' out on her daddy's farm

She always thought that we'd be together

Lord I never meant to do her harm

Said she could hear me singin' in the choir me I heard another song

I caught wind and hit the road runnin'

And Lord I been a long time gone

I been a long time gone

Lord I ain't had a prayer since I don't know when

Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again

Now me I went to Nashville tryin' to be the big deal playin' down on Broadway gettin' it the hard a way

Livin' from a tip jar sleepin' in my car hockin' my guitar yeah I'm gonna be a star

Now me and Delia singin' every sunday watchin' the children and the garden grow

We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin' but the music ain't got no soul

Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard

They got money but they don't have Cash

They got junior but they don't have Hank

I think I think I think the rest is

A long time gone no I ain't hit the roof since I don't know when

Long time gone and it ain't comin' back

I been a long time gone no I ain't honked the horn since I don't know when

Long time gone and it ain't comin' back again
