long time gone
(bob dylan; revised wording and arrangement by o.v. michaelsen)
my parents raised me tenderly, i was their only son;
my mind got mixed with wanderin’ when i was much too young.
was just a child of thirteen years when i first left my home;
been a long time comin’, ma, i’ll be a long time gone.
on a road through south new mexico, in the dust and rolling sage,
i thought i’d try to find some work, but they said i was young of age.
no place to turn, i’d somehow learn to make it on my own.
been a long time comin’ and i’ll be a long time gone.
many times by the highway side i tried to flag a ride.
with bloodshot eyes and gritting teeth, i’d watch the cars roll by.
in the empty air, my only guide, i traveled on alone,
been a long time comin’ and i’ll be a long time gone.
you might see me on your crossroads, when i’ll be p-ssing through,
and dream you’ll one day follow as i drift beyond your view,
destined for a journey that will never lead me home—
been a long time comin’ and i’ll be a long time gone.
if i could help one drifter on this long, relentless road,
i’d warn him of its random ways and the dangers it might hold,
but i know i ain’t no prophet and i ain’t no prophet’s son—
just a long time comin’ and i’ll be a long time gone.
so you can have your beauty when skin-deep, it only lies,
and you can have your youthhood, it will fade before your eyes.
when my roving days are through, just carve upon my stone:
“been a long time comin’ and i’ll be a long time gone.”
