With a mighty roar it lifts off the tarmac and leaves a world behind
She never thought he´d go, but now he´s gone
And she tries to remember his face his hands, kisses in the rain

But the pictures fading fast and whoops it´s gone
So long so long so long

Well they cleaned their guns and they went off to fight
And that´s how the West was won
Setting fire to tepees in the sun
If you´re ready to die for what you believe you can believe most anything
But I´d rather face the future than a gun
So long so long

Well he´s lying in a foxhole with her picture on his heart
Dreaming of making love in the morning sun
A house on a hill, two lovely kids, he didn´t hear the bullet come
It clipped him from world and now he´s gone
