"Gone By Now" lyrics

I stay up, stay out too late
Hardhead and set in my ways
I got that from the man that raises me
It drives you crazy sometimes, I know
Got a short fuse, attitude
I can be hard to put up with
Don't make it easy on you
But you never quit

That's why I bow my head
Thank the Lord He ain't
The only one I know
With amazing grace
You love me so damn good
And I just don't know how
'Cause, girl, if I was you
I'd have been gone by now
Long gone by now, yeah

I know you've gotta get tired of goodbye, baby
Watching me pull out the driveway
Ain't got two miles down the highway
And I've been gone too long
Sitting there alone on a Sunday morning, praying for me
I've given you so many reasons to go
But, girl, you don't

So, I hit my knees and bow my head
Thank the Lord He ain't
The only one I know
With amazing grace
You love me so damn good
And I just don't know how
'Cause, girl, if I was you
I'd have been gone by now
Long gone by now
Long gone by now

It takes a special kind of woman
To put up with a boy like me
That's why every night
Before I go to sleep

I bow my head
Thank the Lord He ain't
The only one I know
With amazing grace
You love me so damn good
And I just don't know how
'Cause, girl, if I was you
I'd have been gone by now
Yeah, girl, if I was now
I'd have been gone by now
Long gone by now

Long gone by now
Long gone by now
