See that train, down the track?
I got me a ticket and I'm not coming back
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.
I'm gettin' tired of your same old stuff
I guess 'best friends' wasn't good enough
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.

You need me more than I need you
Even if you don't think that you do
I'm movin' up, movin' on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.

I'm gonna take my guitar, take my bass
I just can't wait to be out of this place
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.
One more drink before I go
One more song, I'll sing this one for the road
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.

You need me more than I need you
Even if you don't think that you do
I'm movin' up, movin' on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.

See that train down the track?
I'm gonna climb on board and I won't look back
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.
I'm gonna turn and smile as I wave goodbye
You done me wrong, now it's your turn to cry
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.
Oh, oh, oh, oh - I'll be a long time gone.
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
I'll be a long time gone.
