Gone Too Long Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

I been gone too long 

Too long gone, too long 

I been travelin' hard 

I just can't get back home 

Oh, it's hard to believe 

I done all that much wrong 

I wanna find me a seven 

Sevens ain't so bad 

Seven's about the best friend 

This poor boy ever had 

Oh, you get you a seven 

One and six don't seem so sad 

I ain't bein' alone 

Bein' alone too long 

I'm sick of singin' this same 

Ol' lonesome song 

I'm gonna find me a seven and darlin' 

I'm comin' home 

It's lonesome down 

Along this ol' highway 

Darlin', I ain't stayin' here 

I don't intend to stay 

You may not want me 

I'm comin' home anyway 

When the sun comes creepin' 

Over the mountain side 

I at least lay down 

And tell myself I tried 

I ain't like somebody gonna sit 

In no ditch and cry 

I been gone too long 

Too long gone, too long 

Travelin' hard 

I just can't get back home 

It's hard to believe 

I done all that much wrong 

Too long gone 

Too long gone, too long 

Travelin' hard 

I just can't get back home 

Yeah, it's hard to believe 

I done all that much wrong 

Oh, it's hard to believe 

I done all that much wrong
