Drive-By Truckers - Forged in Hell and Heaven Sent lyrics

It's been so long since I've seen you
And I'm not sure where to start
Was it yesterday or decades when
We tore this town apart?
We'd start drinking in the afternoon and
Close the bars all down
It's been too long since I've seen you
I'm so glad you're back in town

We went through so much together
You and me and all the gang
All those crazy death defiers chasing
Storms and racing trains
It's a wonder there's a single one
Of us still left alive
To feast on best-forgotten memories and toast
The ones up in the skies

It's been so long since I've seen you
And I know you've been through hell
And it's taken it's toll on you


And it's lessons served us well
But, I still can see that sparkle in
Your eyes and in your smile
Glad you're back in town this evening
Have a seat and stay a while
So you had a little daughter and
I see she's almost grown
And I guess she's had to grow up pretty fast
Time went racing past us
I've got two kids of my own
And I'm trying to make this
Time that we're in last
Not let the moments all slip past us
Answers to questions they'd never ask us
The things that kept us youngest
Came pounding down upon us
The whole world slipped out from under us

It's been too long since I've seen you
Wonder where the time all went
A whole decade before and two
Years since your accident
It's a miracle you're walking
Even if a little bent
Guess the minutes we're together are forged
In hell and heaven sent
