Too Long Gone Lyrics

Sammy had a loaded gun

Hadn't fired for too long

Heard a knock on the door

He knew that time had come

He checked her in, he checked her out

She took him easy, no doubt

But everybody knows what it's all about

And we all sang in the night

And we laughed our stomachs tight

And we remember the days when it all seemed right

It's been too long

Too long gone

But like brothers in arms

We carry on

And when it's done

When our time has come

We'll remember it all

It won't ever

Ever be too long gone

Brothers went uptown

Sending in the clowns

We stepped up

And landed butter side down

We were black and we were decked out

We were drilled and we were ploughed

And we got back up but I don't know how

Dancing round the Pole

Had a walk-on part in the freak show

One more

One more and we go

We were the big boys, we were loud

And money talks in this town

Miami sound machining the dance floor down

It's been too long

Too long gone

But like brothers in arms

We carry on

And when it's done

When our time has come

We'll remember it all

It won't ever

Ever be too long gone
