How long? How long? Baby how long? How Long? Baby how long, Has that evenin' train been gone I can see the green grass Up on the hill But I ain't see the green back On a dollar bill. And so long, so long. Baby so long.

Long gone baby Lets get out of this town tonight Nothing but dust in the shadows Gone by morning light Somewhere we wont ever get caught, never be found Baby lets just get out of this town Got it all figured out inside of my head There's a bag packed up

Train arrive, it's sixteen coaches long Well, that long black train take my baby and gone Mystery train, rollin' down the track Train, train, rollin' 'round the bend Well, it took my baby, people it won't be coming back Well, it took my baby, people it

Train arrive, it's sixteen coaches long Well, that long black train take my baby and gone Mystery train, rollin' down the track Train, train, rollin' 'round the bend Well, it took my baby, people it won't be coming back Well, it took my baby, people it

And nothing ever did feel so real but this time My time, my mind is gone, turn the lights back on Baby I’m in the next room but is it gonna be long 'Til I see you again At the coffin Have a great flight outta here, I suppose But you must go, I suppose So

I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes Before I even realize the ride I'm on Baby I'm long gone I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day I get carried away I don't

Go down, go down, go down, go down Ruby, Ruby, where you been so long Done took to drinkin' whiskey Baby since you been gone Ain't no one I know do it as good as you Lickin' on that lickin' stick the way you do You got the lips to make a strong man weak

Is magic gone? You came in my life in such a way Baby, now you're going away Coming across, you were so strong I have to tell you now all my thoughts I've been waiting now for too long Our flame is only getting bloomed

I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes Before I even realize the ride I'm on Baby I'm long gone I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day I get carried away I don't

Then I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong, this ain't a love song If the love that I got for you's gone, if the river I cried ain't that long I cried and I cried, there were nights that I died for you, baby I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me
