Long Gone - Confederate Railroad

Abilene airport 6 am

He had a teary little woman hangin' on to him

Sayin' «promise me Billy, you’ll call me when you reach LA»

He said «I'm keepin your number honey, right up here»

He was tappin on his temple but the point was clear

He had no intention of ever comin back, no way

He was long gone

Long, Long gone

Skippin like a stone

He packed up his heart

And he was long gone

Two packs of peanuts and a Canada Dry

Had him thinkin' what a luxury is was to fly

It was the best way out of a love that wasn’t meant to last

Repeat Chorus

Two years later on a TV show

He saw a teary little woman that he used to know

Sayin' «Lord yes Oprah, He left me back in Abilene»

She flashed his picture for the world to see

Said «if anybody knows this lousy S.O.B.»

Tell him Junior’s hungry ain’t nothin in this world that’s free

Repeat Chorus
