I'm A Long Gone Daddy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

All you want to do is sit around and pout and now I've got enough so I'm gettin' out

I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I've been in the doghouse for so doggone long

That when I get a kiss I think that somethin's wrong

I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right

You go and get yourself a man that wants to fight

I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

You start your jaws a waggin' and they never stop

You never shut your moth until I blow my top

I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

[ steel ]

I remember back when you were nice and sweet

Things have changed you'd rather fight than eat

I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I'm gonna do some ridin' on the midnight train

I'm taking evrything except my balled chain

I'm leavin' now I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow
