Long Gone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair [Chorus] And 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 [Verse 2] 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 breathes I poison everything I touch like nothing else that breathes [Chorus] And 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 [Verse 3 ] And 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'll find the time to wed Lord I pray that someday I'll find the time to wed [Chorus] And 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
