I wrote this at Cedar Point campground in Easy Hampton on my 1975 Guild D-15.
lyrics
Long Old Time
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG OLD TIME
BEFORE I GET AWAY FROM HERE
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME
BEFORE I GO
THE HELL I’M IN’S A STATE OF MIND
YOU GOT ME SO I CAN’T UNWIND
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG,
LONG TIME BEFORE I GO
‘Cause baby, I’ve been watching you
I maybe think you caught me too
I’m dig’n on those hips you flaunt
I’m dig’n on your neck
You whisper through the lips I want
With eyes that dance the lover’s taunt
Baby I’ve been watching you
I’m a swagger, I’m a wreck
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG OLD TIME
BEFORE I GET AWAY FROM HERE
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME
BEFORE I GO
THE HELL I’M IN’S A STATE OF MIND
YOU GOT ME SO I CAN’T UNWIND
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME BEFORE I GO
I’m begging baby just one thing
If you could end my suffering
Come up so close next to me
And whisper in my ear
say, “Come on honey lose the lines”
or, “Baby you’ve been on my mind”
Then walk away, or spend the night
‘Cause I’m a swagger, I’m a wreck
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG OLD TIME
BEFORE I GET AWAY FROM HERE
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME
BEFORE I GO
THE HELL I’M IN’S A STATE OF MIND
YOU GOT ME SO I CAN’T UNWIND
IT’S GUNNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME BEFORE I GO
