Lyrics

Well I been gone a long time
The time has passed us by
And I know it won't be long 'till I get home
I see your smilin' face, well I just can't erase
All those good ol' happy days when we were 'lone

Well I'm comin' through the mountains
On my way back home
I see that snow fallin' on that good old mountain ground
And I know it won't be long, I'm in your lovin' arms
We'll live together and things 'll be better for you
A' you and me, a' can't cha see?

Woman, I been a long time gone
To be a thousand miles from home
I know I've done you wrong
And I know it won't be long
I'm in your lovin' arms
Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone

When I hit that mountain road
I got five miles left to go
I smell that good old mountain air and old and pine trees
And as she stood alone with a pretty white dress on
I felt that good old mountain air blowin' up a breeze

Woman, I been a long time gone
To be a thousand miles from home
I know I've done you wrong
And I know it won't be long
I'm in your lovin' arms
Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone
