"Long Gone Now" lyrics
"Long Gone Now"
Sometimes I make love to other women
While thinking about you
And I listen to their talking
Like a TV on in the other room
I dreamed a house in Amarillo
Where the nights don't cool off
Two chairs and a radio
You and me smoking on the porch
But that's long gone now
I left your photograph with my pride
In a bar on the upper east side across the tracks
In San Antonio
You used to make me go to church
Every Sunday in the evening
Say that God was for men like me
Who swore they didn't need him
And now all this sin I don't believe in
Is heavy on my back
I wish you were here to tie my tie
Make me sing and clap
But that's long gone now
I left your photograph with my pride
In a bar on the upper east side across the tracks
In San Antonio
That's long gone now
That's long gone now
That's long gone
