Long Gone Daddy    (click on the title to hear an excerpt)

I'm a long gone daddy, I'm leaving on the next bus 
I'm a long gone daddy, no need to make a fuss
I'm headin’ down twenty-five, it's a wonder I'm still alive
I'm a long gone daddy, I’m a long gone daddy

I'm a long gone daddy, I broke the law and I had to run
I'm a long gone daddy, can't go back ‘cause the deal is done
They got my face on the video, it's pretty clear I gotta go
‘Cause I'm a long gone daddy, I'm a long gone daddy

Chorus:
Don’t you start cryin’ just makes me want to lie, girl
Lovin’ you honey is such a lovely crime, girl

I'm a long gone daddy, I make my way by the moonlight
I'm a long gone daddy, I keep myself just out of sight
Listen to the sirens moan, honey, you best leave me alone
‘Cause I'm a long gone daddy, I'm a long gone daddy

I'm a long gone daddy, and I'm just gettin’ smart
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need your broken heart
I’ll help myself to your cash before you slip away into the past
‘Cause I'm a long gone daddy, I’m a long gone daddy

Chorus

I'm a long gone daddy, I'm a snake in the grass
I'm a long gone daddy, I ain’t never coming back
I’ll take the keys to your car, gonna leave you emotionally scared
‘Cause I'm a long gone daddy, I'm a long gone daddy
I’m a long gone daddy
