Long Haired Country Boy - The Charlie Daniels Band

Six beers, five guys And if I remember right It was a Wednesday when we got our buzz off A second-hand six pack Half smoked, soft pack Light it up, boys take a drag And when I fought that cough off everyone else thought I was so damn cool My head was spinning like a Tilt-A-Whirl Yeah, man it really rocked my world Back when everything seemed just a little bit stronger Back when the weekend lasted a little bit longer I can't tell you why they did But things seemed to never end back then Oh, way back when When a little went a long way One girl, and 45 bucks was all it took that night Hit the steak house, make-out in the movies Way up in the back Credits roll, on pace To make it all the way to second base Tried to play it cool like it was nothing new And she didn't have clue And my head was spinning like a Tilt-A-Whirl Yeah, man she really rocked my world Back when everything seemed just a little bit stronger Back when the weekend lasted a little bit longer I can't tell you why they did But things seemed to never end back then Oh, way back when When a little went a long way Back when everything seemed just a little bit stronger Back when the weekend lasted a little bit longer I can't tell you why they did But things seemed to never end back then Oh, way back when When a little went a long way A long, long way A long way

Ten years ago on a cold dark night Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me She walks these hills, in a long black veil She visits my grave, when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me The scaffold is high, and eternity's near She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans In a long black veil, she cries over my bones She walks these hills, in a long black veil She visits my grave, when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, though it meant my life I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife Now she walks these hills, in a long black veil She visits my grave, when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me

I know they say if you love somebody You should set them free But it sure is hard to do It sure is hard to do I know they say if it don't come back again Then it's meant to be (so they say) Those words don't pull me through So I'm still in love with you I spend each day here waiting for a miracle But it's just you and me goin' through the mill Climbin' up a hill This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breakin' a heart No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it All that's happenin' here is a long goodbye Sometimes I ask my heart did we really Give our love a chance (just one more chance) But I know without a doubt We turned it inside out And if we walked away Would it make more sense But it tears me up inside Just to think we still could try How long must we keep running on a carousel Going 'round and 'round and never gettin' anywhere On a wing and prayer This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breakin' a heart No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it All that's happenin' here is a long goodbye Long goodbye (Goodbye) Oh, oh, oh-oh Long goodbye (Goodbye) (Goodbye) Oh, it's a long goodbye, it's a long goodbye

It's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long,hard road I'm traveling on Lord, I need to find my way back home I hear the voice my sweet momma called me Telling me to change my ways In my mind, I smell the dogwood blooming Takes me back to yesterday Yeah,it's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord I need to find my way back home I left behind the person that I once was I changed for good and some for bad I've wasted days and nights on love forgotten I've traded happiness for sad Yeah,it's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord, I need to find my way back home I've felt the hurt of a broken heart inside me I've felt the joy of love unchained I've seen the rain wash away a mountain Like tears have washed away my pain Yeah,it's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord, I need to find my way back home I've watched some loved ones dear to my heart dying I've heard a newborn baby's cry I've walked a path of glory and of darkness I've felt the guilt of a senseless life It's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord,I need to find my way back home Drank to forget and I've drank to remember And I've drank for love and I've drank for hate I've danced alone with a full moon up above me Lighting the way to heaven's gate It's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord,I need to find my way back home I've felt the love of Jesus shining on me I've felt the devil's wicked ways Prayed for forgiveness, prayed for redemption Prayed just to make it through the day Yeah,it's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord I need to find my way back home

I said remember this moment in the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in stands went wild We were the Kings and the Queens And they read off our names The night you danced like you knew our lives Would never be the same You held your head like a hero On a history book page It was the end of a decade But the start of an age Long live the walls we crashed through All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered I said remember this feeling I passed the pictures around Of all the years that we stood there On the sidelines wishing for right now We are the Kings and the Queens You traded your baseball cap for a crown When they gave us our trophies And we held them up for our town And The Cynics were outraged Screaming, "This is absurd!" 'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans Got to rule the world Long live the walls we crashed through All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid Long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you I was screaming long live that look on your face And bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered Hold on to spinning around Confetti falls to the ground May these memories break our fall Will you take a moment Promise me this That you'll stand by me forever But if —God forbid— fate should step in And force us into a goodbye If you have children some day When they point to the pictures Please tell 'em my name Tell 'em how the crowds went wild Tell 'em how I hope they shine Long live the walls we crashed through I had the time of my life, with you Long, long live the walls we crashed through All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you And I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid Singing, long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you And long, long live that look on your face And bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered
