Daddy sits on the front porch swinging, looking out on a [B] vacant field.
Used to be filled with early tobacco, now he knows it [D] never will.
My brother found work in Indiana, sisters and nurse at the old [A] folks' home.
[E] Mom's still cooking too much for supper and me, I've been a long [D] time gone.
Been a long [A] time gone.
[D] No, I ain't hold a [A] roll since I don't know when.
Long [G] time gone, [A] and it ain't coming back again.

[D] Helia plays that old church piano, sitting out on her daddy's [E] farm.
She always thought it'd be to get a load, I never meant to do her [Dm] harm.
[D] Said she could hear me singing in the choir, me I heard [A] another song.
I [E] caught wind and hit the road running, Lord I've been a long [D] time gone.
Been a long [A] time gone.

[A] [D] Now me and Deal, you're singing every Sunday.
Watching the children in the [A] garden grow.
You listen to the [E] radio to hear what's [A] cooking, but the music ain't got no soul.
[D] Now they sound tired, but they don't sound haggard.
They got money, but they [A] don't have cash.
They got Junior, but they don't have cash.
