gone too long
I been gone too long Too long gone, too long I been travelin' hard I just can't get back home It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong  I want to find me a seven Sevens ain't so bad Seven's about the best friend This poor boy ever had You get you a seven One and six don't seem so sad  I ain't bein' alone Bein' alone too long I'm sick of singin' this same ol' lonesome song I'm gonna find me a seven and darlin' I'm comin' home  It's lonesome down along this ol' highway Darlin' I ain't stayin' here I don't intend to stay You may not want me I'm comin' home anyway  When the sun comes creepin' Over the mountain side I at least lay down and tell myself I tried I ain't like somebody gonna sit In no ditch and cry  I been gone too long Too long gone, too long Travelin' hard I just can't get back home It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong  Too long gone Too long gone, too long Travelin' hard, I just can't get back home It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong
