mama they say the snow this winter
beat you to the ground
but i´m a long time gone, long time gone
wish i could see the blazin´ sunset
falling right into the bay
but i´m a long time gone, long time gone

- to dream the dream that´s over
to live and love again
oh my america
and to be where my footsteps lead me over
to be born again tonight

i want to be there on our back porch
looking on down the road
but i´m a long time gone, long time gone
the troubles here, they pass me by
i want to get home to you
but i´m a long time gone, long time gone

- repeat

lonely days, lonely nights
caught up in someone else´s fight
i´m holdin´ on, and you´re so strong
all i want to be is just holdin´ you tonight

[instrumental]

- repeat

[short instrumental] - repeat and fade out
