"Long Gone" lyrics

You don't want none lady of what I've got to share
I've got flesh between my teeth from living in a snare
The more I bite and struggle oh the less I'd like to care
That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair

I'm long, long gone
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love

You don't want none lady oh take it from me
The charm that I give you is anything but free
It'll cost you years and many tears and it's not yours to keep
I poison everything I touch like nothing else that breaths

I'm long, long gone
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love

You don't want none lady I can't be your man
I live deep in a holler between the holy and the damned
And the only thing that keeps the peace are the voices in my head
Lord I pray that someday I find the time to wed

I'm long, long gone
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love
