By townes van zandt

I been gone too long
Too long gone, too long
I been travelin hard
I just cant get back home
Its hard to believe I done all that much wrong

I wanna find me a seven
Sevens aint so bad
Sevens about the best friend
This poor boy ever had
You get you a seven
One and six dont seem so sad

I aint bein alone
Bein alone too long
Im sick of singin this same ol lonesome song
Im gonna find me a seven and darlin
Im comin home

Its lonesome down along this ol highway
Darlin I aint stayin here
I dont intend to stay
You may not want me Im comin home anyway

When the sun comes creepin
Over the mountain side
I at least lay down and tell myself I tried
I aint like somebody gonna sit
In no ditch and cry

I been gone too long
Too long gone, too long
Travelin hard I just cant get back home
Its hard to believe I done all that much wrong

Too long gone
Too long gone, too long
Travelin hard, I just cant get back home
Its hard to believe I done all that much wrong
Its hard to believe I done all that much wrong
