THE LONG GOODBYE

Album version



My soul went walking but I stayed here
Feel like I been working for a thousand years
Chipping away at this chain of my own lies
Climbing a wall a hundred thousand miles high
Well I woke up this morning on the other side
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye

Same old faces it's the same old town
What once was laughs is dragging me now
Waiting on rain hanging on for love
Words of forgiveness from some God above
Ain't no words of mercy coming from on high
Oh no just a long goodbye
Yeah yeah just one long goodbye

Well I went to leave twenty years ago
Since then I guess I been packing kinda slow
Sure did like that admiring touch
Guess I liked it a little too much

The moon is high and here I am
Sitting here with this hammer in hand
One more drink oughta ease the pain
Staring at that last link in the chain
Well let's raise our glass and let the hammer fly
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Kiss me baby and we're gonna fly
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Kiss me baby 'cause we're gonna ride
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye

??? baby
This is the long goodbye now
Woo hoo
Woo hoo
???
???
???
Na na na na na
Na na na na na yeah yeah
