I stay up, stay out too late
Hardhead and set in my ways
I got that from the man that raises me
It drives you crazy sometimes, I know
Got a short fuse, attitude

I can be hard to put up with
Don´t make it easy on you
But you never quit

That´s why I bow my head
Thank the Lord He ain´t
The only one I know
With amazing grace
You love me so damn good
And I just don´t know how
´Cause, girl, if I was you
I´d have been gone by now
Long gone by now, yeah

I know you´ve gotta get tired of goodbye, baby
Watching me pull out the driveway
Ain´t got two miles down the highway
And I´ve been gone too long

Sitting there alone on a Sunday morning, praying for me
I´ve given you so many reasons to go
But, girl, you don´t

So, I hit my knees and bow my head
Thank the Lord He ain´t
The only one I know
With amazing grace
You love me so damn good
And I just don´t know how
´Cause, girl, if I was you
I´d have been gone by now
Long gone by now
Long gone by now

It takes a special kind of woman
To put up with a boy like me

That´s why every night
Before I go to sleep

I bow my head
Thank the Lord He ain´t
The only one I know
With amazing grace
You love me so damn good
And I just don´t know how
´Cause, girl, if I was you
I´d have been gone by now
Yeah, girl, if I was now
I´d have been gone by now
Long gone by now

Long gone by now
Long gone by now
