Yeah, they came to take me away Said I'd be sitting here for the rest of my life But I don't really care - I shot my wife And brother, I can't even remember the reason why Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when It sure makes a long time man feel bad We was down in Jacksonville A cold winter night My baby and I, we began to fight I heated up, and I grabbed my gun I get so cold on those nights down south She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor She looked up at me and began to smile Her gasping words: Baby, I love you Then she closed those baby blue eyes (chorus, and variations) Sometimes I hear you call my name in the dead of the night I ain't had those arms around me I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me It sure makes a long time man feel bad So bad
