The Long Goodbye

My soul went walkin' but I stayed hereFeel like I been workin' for a thousand yearsChippin' away at this chain of my own liesClimbin' a wall a hundred thousand miles highWell I woke up this morning on the other sideYeah yeah this is the long goodbyeHey yeah this is the long goodbyeSame old faces it's the same old townWhat once was laughs is draggin' me nowWailin' on rain hangin' on for loveWords of forgiveness from some God aboveAin't no words of mercy comin' from on highOh no just a long goodbyeYeah yeah just one long goodbyeWell I went to leave twenty years agoSince then I guess I been packin' kinda slowSure did like that admirin' touchGuess I like'd it a little too muchThe moon is high and here I amSittin' here with this hammer in handOne more drink oughta ease the painStarin' at that last link in the chainWell let's raise our glass and let this hammer flyHey yeah this is the long goodbyeHey yeah this is the long goodbye
