It's been a long time running It's well worth the wait It's the same mistake Does your mother tell you things? Long, long when I'm gone? Who you talking to? Is she telling you I'm the one? It's a grave mistake and I'm wide awake Drive-in's rained out

Oooh, I wish you well. Wish I could hideaway Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon, Is there somethin' on your mind? You've gone and sold all your belongings, Is that something in your eye? Well, I know you really never Liked the way it all goes down; Go

Good rockin' daddy I'm a good rockin' daddy Yeah well I'm a good rockin' daddy Up on my feet I can't be beat Well you can really go go go Jumpin' fast or rockin' slow I will see ya when the band gone blow Now hold it, don't move it now boogie some more I

But I blew it without even tryin' Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been a very long time You wear it

And set this circus down And we go rolling down this highway Chasing all our crazy dreams I've gone your way and you've gone my way And everywhere in between One of these days we'll find a piece of ground Just outside of some sleepy little town Sometimes

Will you surrender? Restless in a war, war We're sailling, farewell love We praise our shared destiny Be sure to embrace the dreams I'm more than a dead and gone Close your eyes I see the past of the time passing fast The present's over and gone So know

And the only thing to save Is the banner that you wave To be wrapped around your grave You've gone too far, who do you think you are Is this what you came for, well this means war To line up to the ring For a battle that you can't win Swing as hard as

We'll be looking for sunlight Or the headlights Till our wide eyes burn blind We'll be lacing the same shoes That we've worn through To the bottom of the line And we know that we're headstrong And our heart's gone And the timing's never right

I can get up and face the day Just fine all by myself Go out and take on the world And get it done like nobody else Ohh but I don't do lonely well Baby since you've been gone I leave the TV on Gotta hear somebody's voice I just need some kind of noise

Well baby, there you stand With your little head, down in your hand Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again Your baby's gone, and you're all alone And it looks like the end And you're back out on the street And you're tryin' to remember How do
