My soul went walkin´ but I stayed here
Feel like I been workin´ for a thousand years
Chippin´ away at this chain of my own lies
Climbin´ a wall a hundred thousand miles high
Well I woke up this morning on the other side

Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye

Same old faces it´s the same old town
What once was laughs is draggin´ me now
Wailin´ on rain hangin´ on for love
Words of forgiveness from some God above
Ain´t no words of mercy comin´ from on high
Oh no just a long goodbye
Yeah yeah just one long goodbye

Well I went to leave twenty years ago
Since then I guess I been packin´ kinda slow
Sure did like that admirin´ touch
Guess I like´d it a little too much

The moon is high and here I am
Sittin´ here with this hammer in hand

One more drink oughta ease the pain
Starin´ at that last link in the chain
Well let´s raise our glass and let this hammer fly
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
