Lyrics:

Well I’m heading south to Georgia for two shows in a row

Didn't get much sleep last night the way these driver’s roll

Heaven seems so far away I believe my weary soul

Will be gone a long time

I heard my baby laughing like a jackal in the night

I looked in through the window and I saw an awful sight

He took off my overcoat and she turned out the light

And I'll be gone a long time

Well a Jay bird sees a little worm a’dancing on the ground

I guess there ain't no hiding place no matter where you're found

I just came from Traverse City now i'm Withlacoochee bound

I'll be gone a long time

Jesus took the water and turned it into wine

Me I'll take them pretty girls and try to make em’ mine

And I tell 'em not to worry that I'll see them down the line

I'll be gone a long time

I just keep a-rolling to the rhythm of the band

If you think I'm lucky boys you just don't understand

I'll pick this old guitar until my fingers turn to sand

And I'll be gone a long time

I'll be gone a long time
