Long Gone Out West Blues

"Long Gone Out West Blues"

(CHORUS) Going out west for the arid heat
This big city life is killing me
Where the wild still roam
And the sun always shines
It’s a long gone out west blues

Can’t you hear that lonesome cry
I left my house many days gone by
Oh my darling’s gone
Now why did she die?
It’s a long gone out west blues

Long gone out west blues

(instrumental break)

I heard them say just go out west
To a land of no rain it’s all that’s left
To cure heartbreak
As I moaned and wept
It’s a long gone out west blues

No more lonesome now I’m home
Though in years before I was all alone
And the trees are
Dry desert cactus bones
It’s a long gone out west blues

(instrumental break)

(CHORUS) Going out west for the arid heat
This big city life is killing me
Where the wild still roam
And the sun always shines
It’s a long gone out west blues

Long gone out west blues
Long gone, long gone, long gone
Out west blues
