Long Gone - The Dead South

Well you tell me I'm way out of touch So I tell you that it don't me much to me And nothing comes for free So it goes all day And into the night Don't you know we're just bound to fuss and fight you see You don't listen to me I've got ears I've got eyes I've got all my senses to keep me wise Hold your tears tell no lies I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye You know me I get way out of line I tell you this is just wastin my time But don't go Cause we've got nothing to show So it goes all day almost every night The shadows grow darker and in the light of the clear day I wish you'd hear me say I've got ears I've got eyes I've got all my senses to keep me wise Hold your tears tell no lies I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye I've got ears I've got eyes I've got all my senses to keep me wise Hold your tears tell no lies I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye I've got ears I've got eyes I've got all my senses to keep me wise Hold your tears tell no lies I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye

Momma made something sweet It's good for you to eat But you were out late messing around The girls are in your hands Dangerous charm you don't understand The other men will burn you alive You're just naive boy You better leave boy Tonight The streets are whispering now Of this gentlemen in town A lover, who cannot be beat The men around town Gathered on the sacred ground And repeated to beat their chests You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Been hiding as you can Too weak to even stand Your bones don't fit your skin no more Caught you crying at the moon Begging momma for a room But she's felt the burn of your love You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Got down on your knees to pray Asking your father in his grave He whispered son Get on your horse and ride I'm gonna show you Where you gonna die Where you gonna die Where you gonna die You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Outro This blessing turned to curse Your charm worked in reverse And a love song That is burnt in my mind

We started out from Bern one sunny August morn' There was just the four of us against the Matterhorn There was Albert the Australian and John the Irishman Me and Bill from Britain, mad dogs in the sun Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn Two miles up, we lost John and our rations fell below Now Al and Bill are lying beneath an avalanche of snow Now here I am alone now, and I know I cannot stop Two more yards in front of me until I reach the top Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn Well, here I am a dying upon the Matterhorn Not a grave for me to lie in nor grave to keep me warm And the Queen would surely knight me if I could get back down But it's closer here to heaven Than it is back to the ground Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn
