lyrics

THERE WAS A TIME THAT I HATED THE ROAD
ANOTHER DAMN WEEKEND, ANOTHER DAMN SHOW
BANOTHER EMPTY HOUSE WITH ME ALL ALONE
JUST A QUICK KISS AND YOU WERE GONE

WHEN YOU WERE GONE,
OH YOU WERE LONG LONG GONE

THEY SAY DISTANCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER
BUT SOMETIMES IT MAKES THE SOUL WANDER
I GOT STRONGER WITH EVERY LONELY NIGHT
LESS HEARTBREAK WITH EVERY FADING TAIL LIGHT

WHEN YOU WERE GONE
WHEN YOU WERE LONG LONG GONE

I TRIED TO TELL YOU HOW I WAS FEELING
THESE WALLS ARE MY WAY OF DEALING
I GOT TIRED OF BEING ALONE
GOT TIRED OF RAISING THESE KIDS ON MY OWN

WHEN YOU WERE GONE
WHEN YOU WERE LONG LONG GONE

NOW WHEN YOU PACK UP AND LEAVE
DON’T EXPECT A TEAR FROM ME
I HATED BEING ALONE FOR SO LONG
BUT I FOUND MYSELF WHEN YOU WERE GONE

WHEN YOU WERE GONE,
OH I WISH YOU WERE GONE
