Bruce Springsteen - The Long Goodbye lyrics

My soul went walkin' but I stayed here
Feel like I been workin' for a thousand years
Chippin' away at this chain of my own lies
Climbin' a wall a hundred miles high

Well I woke up this morning on the other side
Yeah yeah, this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah, this is the long goodbye

Same old faces, it's the same old town
What once was laughs is draggin' me now
Waitin' on rain, hangin' on for love
Words of forgiveness from some God above

Ain't no words of mercy comin' from on high
Oh no, just a long goodbye
Yeah yeah, just one long goodbye

Well I went to leave twenty years ago
Since then I guess I been packin' kinda slow
Sure did like that admirin' touch
Guess I liked it a little too much

The moon is high and here I am
Sittin' here with this hammer in hand
One more drink oughta ease the pain
Starin' at that last link in the chain

Well let's raise our glass and
Let the hammer fly
Hey yeah, this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah, this is the long goodbye

Kiss me baby and we're gonna fly
Hey yeah, this is the long goodbye
Yeah yeah, this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah, this is the long goodbye
Kiss me baby, 'cause we're gonna ride
Yeah yeah, this is the long goodbye
