LONG GONE
(Levering/Mullen) Copyright ©2009
Fishing rods - in the summertime
Down at the pond - southern moonlight
We used to go there and plan out our whole lives
First we'll move - then we'll become stars
Where we'll go - There's nowhere too far
We'll keep moving till we find a new start
We had the best of plans and the biggest dreams
About living the life and feeling free
We were gonna live - larger than the see
I still recall - that lonely night
Just when I thought - things felt right
The stars in your eyes didn't shine so bright
Then came the day - suddenly it seemed
I was ready - but you couldn't leave
Something held you back that you couldn't see
We were on the same book and on the same page
Then I read ahead, thought I'd lead the way
And now your still back - in the good ole' days
(CHORUS)
But we'll see each other late at night
Yeah we'll see each other when we close our eyes
And fall asleep - and dream about the good times
Never said goodbye cuz who'd have thought
We'd be apart for quite so long
But I guess by now - The old days are LONG GONE
Wish you came along for the ride
I never meant to leave you behind
Heard all about - your brand new job
A few more years - you'll be on top
You're still the biggest fish in that little pond
Must've been - small town gravity
That hooked you in - but didn't catch me
I try to keep in touch but you know how hard that can be
If there's one thing I want to say to you
It's that I miss our talks and the things we use to do
I wonder if you think about these things too
(REPEAT CHORUS)
This journey ain't the same without you near
I can't tell you how much I wish you were here
When I think of you the memory is so clear
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Wish you came along for the ride
Always thought we'd be together for life
I never meant to leave you behind
I never meant to leave you behind
