Long Time Ago

Daddy went lookin' for a stretch of road

Could drive his whole life and never get old

Didn't wanna leave but he had to go

Didn't wanna leave but he had to go

Mama was the daughter of a big rock star

She grew up singing in a honky tonk bar

All she ever wanted was to break your heart

All she ever wanted was to break your heart

Now that you seen it, do you believe it?

There's somethin' shinin' up ahead

This ol' motor ain't turnin' over

These things just tend to run until they're dead

The greatest love this ol' town has ever known

But that was a long, long time ago

Mama went lookin' for a little white pill

Mama sure had a lot of pain to kill

Left one night and she never came back

Left one night and she never came back

Daddy sold the house back in '93

He came in second in the lottery

Buried all the money by the railroad tracks

Buried all the money by the railroad tracks

Now that you seen it, do you believe it?

There's somethin' shinin' up ahead

This ol' motor ain't turnin' over

These things just tend to run until they're dead

The greatest love this ol' town has ever known

But that was a long, long time ago

Now that you seen it, do you believe it?

There's somethin' shinin' up ahead

This ol' motor ain't turnin' over

These things just tend to run until they're dead

The greatest love this ol' town has ever known

But that was a long, long time ago
