I guess you think you broke my heart but I don't mind that we're apart
As sure as there's another dawn you can bet that I will be a long time gone

For every time you lied to me I told myself that this can't be
I know I was completely wrong you can bet that I will be a long time gone

My mind's been on you day and night but now I finally see the light
Don't even call me on the phone from now on I'm gonna be a long time gone

Today I saw a mourning dove and he was crying for his love
I'm sorry that he's all alone but for me I'm glad I'll be a long time gone
But for me I'm glad I'll be a long time gone
