Long Gone

Abilene airport 6 am
 He had a teary little woman hangin' on to him
 Sayin' "promise me Billy, you'll call me when you reach LA"
 He said "I'm keepin your number honey, right up here"
 He was tappin on his temple but the point was clear
 He had no intention of ever comin back, no way
 Chorus:
 He was long gone
 Long, Long gone
 Skippin like a stone
 He packed up his heart
 And he was long gone
 Two packs of peanuts and a Canada Dry
 Had him thinkin' what a luxury is was to fly
 It was the best way out of a love that wasn't meant to last
 Repeat Chorus
 Two years later on a TV show
 He saw a teary little woman that he used to know
 Sayin' "Lord yes Oprah, He left me back in Abilene"
 She flashed his picture for the world to see
 Said "if anybody knows this lousy S.O.B."
 Tell him Junior's hungry ain't nothin in this world that's free
