Daddy sits on the front porch 
                             G  D 
swingin', lookin' out on a vacant 
  A
field
It used to be filled with burly 
                              D
tobacco now he knows it never will
My brother found work in Indiana, my
                         G   D     A
 sister's a nurse at the old folks
home

supper and me, I've been a long time
gone

when
A    D    G           A        
Long time gone and it ain't 
         D

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 heard me singin' in 
the choir, me I heard another song
I caught wind and hit the road 
runnin' and Lord, I've been a long 
time

Now me, I went to Nashville, tryin' 
to be the big deal
D
Playin' down on Broadway, gettin' 
there the hard way
C
Livin' from a tip jar, sleepin' in 
my car
D                                 
Hockin' my guitar, yeah I'm gonna 
     E     A
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...

A    D    G           A
Long time gone and it ain't comin'

when
A    D    G           A        
Long time gone and it ain't 
            D

     A
time gone, oh it's been a long time

Long time, long time, long time gone
