Long Time Man

Written by tim rose
Yeah, they came to take me away
Said i'd be sitting here for the rest of my life
But i don't really care - i shot my wife
And brother, i can't even remember the reason why
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
Well i ain't had no love since i don't know when
It sure makes a long time man feel bad
We was down in jacksonville
A cold winter night
My baby and i, we began to fight
I heated up , and i grabbed my gun
I get so cold on those nights down south
She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor
She looked up at me and began to smile
Her gasping words: 'baby, i love you'
Then she closed those baby blue eyes
(chorus, and variations)
Sometimes i hear you call my name in the dead of the night
I ain' t had those arms around me
I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me
It sure makes a long time man feel bad
So bad
