Lyrics:

Just a small-town little girl
Not a care in the world
When I close my eyes, I see
A little house across the street
I met up that old oak tree
That girl sure looks a lot like me
I've been gone so long

And I've been gone so long

There are people in my life
Who'll never see through my disguise
A side of me nobody knows
I'd wish I never left this yard
The ground out here is cold and hard
Back there's a girl I used to know
And I've been gone so long
And I've been gone so long

And I've been gone so long

I've been gone so long
