Long Since Gone

Smoke driftin' from a wood fire

Way back in the pines of carolina...

Closing down store...one year more

Of coming up short

Chorus:

Hung heads and heavy sighs

Winter comin' on

What lil' was left is

Long....since....gone

The fields? They're all barren

Factory up & moved it overseas

Boarded up town

Ghosts walkin' the streets

And they all say one thing

Back on "the hil"l

It ain't come back yet

Maybe it never will

Old ways...old paths

All of 'em drowned...in a sea of progress

History doubles back...to shake hands with you

When you've got nothing to trade on...you've nothing left

to lose
