Townes Van Zandt — Gone Too Long

Been gone too long, too long gone, too long I been traveling hard, I just can't get back home Ah, it's hard to believe I done all that much wrong I want to find me a seven, sevens ain't so bad Seven about the best friend this poor boy ever had Oh, you get you a seven, one and six don't seem so sad I ain't being alone, being alone too long I'm sick of singing this same old lonesome song Want to find me a seven and, darling, I'm coming home It's lonesome down along this old highway Darling, I ain't staying here, I don't intend to stay You may not want me, I'm coming home anyway When the sun comes creeping over the mountain side I'll at least lay down and tell myself I tried I ain't like somebody gonna sit in no ditch and cry Been gone too long, too long gone, too long Traveling 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 Traveling hard, I just can't get back home It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong Ah, it's hard to believe I done all that much wrong
