Lyrics:

Well I been gone a long time The time has passed us by And I know it won't be long 'till I get home I see your smilin' face, well I just can't erase All those good ol' happy days when we were 'lone. Well I'm comin' through the mountains On my way back home I see that snow fallin' on that good old mountain ground And I know it won't be long, I'm in your lovin' arms We'll live together and things 'll be better for you a' you and me, a' can't cha see? Woman, I been a long time gone To be a thousand miles from home I know I've done you wrong And I know it won't be long, I'm in your lovin' arms Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone. When I hit that mountain road I got five miles left to go. I smell that good old mountain air and old and pine trees And as she stood alone with a pretty white dress on, I felt that good old mountain air blowin' up a breeze. Woman, I been a long time gone To be a thousand miles from home I know I've done you wrong And I know it won't be long, I'm in your lovin' arms Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone.
