Townes Van Zandt - Gone Too Long [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
I been gone too long
Too long gone, too long
I been travelling hard
I just can't get back home
Oh, it's hard to believe
I done all that much wrong

[Verse]
I want to find me a seven
Sevens ain't so bad
Seven's about the best friend
This poor boy ever had
Oh, you get you a seven
One and six don't seem so sad
I ain't being alone
Being alone too long
I'm sick of singing this same
Old lonesome song
I'm going to find me a seven and darling
I'm coming home
It's lonesome down
Along this old highway
Darling, I ain't staying here
I don't intend to stay
You may not want me
I'm coming home anyway
When the sun comes creeping
Over the mountain side
I at least lay down
And tell myself I tried
I ain't like somebody going to sit
In no ditch and cry

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Oh, it's hard to believe
I done all that much wrong
