Hear the dial on the telephone Nah, she never picks up when I call home Guess I gotta lay down my pride Nah, I couldn't even blame her if I tried I've been gone for way too long I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long Been blowing more smoke than a midnight train Roll it up, burn it straight to my brain Don't know the last time I saw her face So it all run together when you live this way I've been gone for way too long I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long Been traveling down the whitе line ain't nobody wanna go down Running in the night from the howl of thе devil's hound Took a left at the crossroads and ran into a party crowd Searching for a high that'll never let me come down Oh, you better take my words and write it true I ain't ever coming back to you I lost myself in all your wrongs But girl, I'm coming back 'cause I been gone too long Sunrise knows my name Each conversation goes the same Sun, sun, go away You know I'm only happy on a rainy day 'Cause I been gone for way too long I been gone, I've been gone for way too long Been traveling down the white line, ain't nobody wanna go down Running in the night from the howl of the devil's hound Took a left at the crossroads and ran into a party crowd Searching for a high that'll never let me come down Oh, you better take my words and write it true I ain't ever coming back to you Lost myself in all your wrongs But girl, I'm coming back 'cause I been gone too Girl, I'm coming back 'cause I been gone too Girl, I'm coming back 'cause I been gone too long
