Tim Rose - Long Time Man

Yeah, they came to take me away

They said I'd be sitting here for the rest of my life

But I don't really care - I shot my wife

And brother, I can't even remember the reason why

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

I ain't had no loving since I don't know when

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

We was down in Jacksonville

A cold winter night

My baby and I, we began to fight

I heated up, and I grabbed my gun

On a very very cold night down south

She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor

She looked up at me and began to smile

Her gasping words: "Baby, I love you"

Then she closed those baby blue eyes

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

I ain't had no loving since I don't know when

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Makes a long time man feel bad

I ain't had no loving since I don't know when

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
