lyrics

Been a Long Time
Justin Wells

I know I've been gone a while, honey
And things just might have changed
But I've still got my love for you
And I've still got this ring
For forty long days, and forty long nights
Lord, I've cried, these walkaway tears
While I curse the miles that put you behind me
And finally, brought me here

It's been a long time
My love, my friend
But you're on my mind
Like you've always been
Every day
You're not by my side
Is killing me slowly
It's been a long time

In a bar full of strangers, for another damn dollar
I've been breaking these hearts every night
And covering wounds, that everyone sees
And I couldn't hide if I tried
For forty long days, and forty long nights
Lord, I've tried to find my way home
And wondering what, ever got me to leaving
And what'll break these traveling bones

It's been a long time
My love, my friend
But you're on my mind
Like you've always been
Every day
You're not by my side
Is killing me slowly
It's been a long time

So I'm headed back home
It's been a long time
