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.
