LONG GONE

(Bob Dylan; revised and arrangement by O.V. Michaelsen)

My parents me tenderly, I was their only son;
My mind got mixed with wanderin' I was much too young.
Was just a child of thirteen when I first left my home;
Been a long comin', Ma, I'll be a long time gone.

On a road through south New Mexico, in the dust and sage,
I I'd try to find some work, but they said I was young of age.
No to turn, I'd somehow learn to make it on my own.
Been a long time comin' and be a long time gone.

Many by the highway side I tried to flag a ride.
With bloodshot eyes and gritting teeth, I'd watch the cars by.
In the empty air, my only guide, I on alone,
Been a time comin' and I'll be a long time gone.

You might see me on your crossroads, when I'll be through,
And dream one day follow as I drift beyond your view,
Destined for a that will never lead me home
Been a long time comin' and I'll be a time gone.

If I help one drifter on this long, relentless road,
I'd warn him of its random and the dangers it might hold,
But I know I ain't no prophet and I ain't no son
Just a long time comin' and I'll be a long gone.

So you can have your when skin-deep, it only lies,
And you can have your youthhood, it will before your eyes.
When my roving days are through, just carve upon my
"Been a long time comin' and be a long time gone."
