 Long Time Man



 *****************



 Written by Tim Rose 



 



 



 



 Yeah, they came to take me away



 Said I'd be sitting here for the rest of my life



 But I don't really care - I shot my wife



 And brother, I can't even remember the reason why



 



 



 Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad



 Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad



 Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when



 It sure makes a long time man feel bad



 



 



 We was down in Jacksonville



 A cold winter night



 My baby and I, we began to fight



 I heated up, and I grabbed my gun



 I get so cold on those nights down south



 



 



 She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor



 She looked up at me and began to smile



 Her gasping words: "Baby, I love you"



 Then she closed those baby blue eyes



 



 



 (chorus, and variations)



 



 



 Sometimes I hear you call my name in the dead of the night



 



 



 I ain't had those arms around me



 I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me



 



 



 It sure makes a long time man feel bad



 So bad
