It's Been So Long

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
