With a mighty roar it lifts off the tarmac and leaves a world behind She never thought he'd go, but now he's gone And she tries to remember his face, his hands, kisses in the rain But the pictures fading fast and whoops it's gone So long so long so long so long
Well they cleaned their guns and they went off to fight And that's how the West was won Setting fire to tipis in the sun If you're ready to die for what you believe you can believe most anything But I'd rather face the future than a gun So long so long so long so long
Well he's lying in a foxhole with her picture on his heart Dreaming of making love in the morning sun A house on a hill, two lovely kids, he didn't hear the bullet come, come Well, it clipped him from world and now he's gone So long so long so long so long
