The Long Goodbye Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

The Long Goodbye

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 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
Waitin 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 liked 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 the 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
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
