BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - The Long Goodbye lyrics

rate me

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

Kiss me baby and we're gonna fly

Hey yeah this is the long goodbye

Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye

Hey yeah this is the long goodbye

Kiss me baby 'cause we're gonna ride
