It's Been So Long Lyrics

Well it's been so long

Since I've seen my baby

Yes it's been so long

Since I've been home

If I can make it through the night

I'll be back where I belong

Well it's been so many days

Since I went out on the road

It's been so many days

Since I walked out that door

Now I'm on that midnight special

And I won't be leaving her no more

Well I hope she's there to greet me when this train comes pulling in

To tell me that she loves me and she'll take me back again

If she's not there to meet me I guess I'll just fall down and cry

Well it's been so long

Since I've seen my baby

Yes it's been so long

Since I've been home

Now I'm praying that my baby

Has kept her love light on

Well I remember it so clearly

Watching my baby shed those tears

Yes I remember it so clearly

When I said I had to go

That day I packed up my old guitar

And I went out on the road

I took that train to Memphis

Thought I'd find my fortune and fame

I took that train to Memphis

Just to pick and sing my songs

Now I'm crawling back to my baby

Hoping she'll welcome me back home

She told me that she loved me and would wait til I came back

Now I'm watching out the window as the train moves down the track

If I can see her on that platform then I know I'm a lucky man

Well it's been so long

Since I've seen my baby

Yes it's been so long

Since I've been home

If I can make it through the night

I'll be back where I belong
