verse 1



Dollar in my pocket

A penny for your thoughts

faded pictures in my wallet

For the times i'm feeling lost

I've been wandering

down a long and lonely road

I've been gone too damn long


verse 2

You ever get the feeling your a bit out of place

there's cracks in my guitar

and all across my face

And I can hear you call to me on those dark and lonely nights
                                              
You've been gone too damn long

                                              
You've been gone too damn long (build)


chorus

I can hear them angels singing a sad and lonely song

sometimes it takes a man to realize when he's wrong

I've been gone

You've been gone 

I've been gone too damn long


v3

So many years have passed 

since I left home

You begged me to stay

but I left you alone

I could use a little sanctuary

a place thats so divine

cause now that i'm older, I'm just running out of time

I've been gone too damn long


v4
I pulled up that lazy driveway, 

You were sitting on the porch

I took off my hat

and hung my head down low

You said, "I know you've been traveling down a long and lonely road

Its about time you came back home"

chorus

If you need some sanctuary

this place is so divine

and now that your home, we can make up for lost time
                                                          
cause you've been gone too damn long

                                              
You've been gone too damn long (build)





And I can hear the angels singing a sad and lonely song

sometimes it takes a man to realize when he's wrong

I've been gone too damn long

 
I've been gone

you've been gone

I've been gone too damn long
