Long Time Gone
Written by Joy Williams, John Paul White & T Bone Burnett

Look out Ma, look out Pa, look at that horizon
Something's out there kickin' up dust, oh it's comin' fast
Look out Sister, look out Brother, river's gonna be risin'
Somethin' we been waitin' for, oh, it's here at last

It's been a long, long time comin'
It's been a long, long time gone

Let's all sing, let's all dance, stomp our feet in that red clay
Come on out of those old brown fields
Watch 'em turn to gold, watch 'em turn to gold

It's been a long, long time comin'
It's been a long, long time gone
It's been a long, long time comin'
It's been a long, long time gone

The wait is over, winds have changed
And not a moment too soon
We've hoped and prayed for a single drop of rain
And now a storm's comin' through

It's been a long, long time comin'
It's been a long, long time gone
It's been a long, long time comin'
It's been a long, long time gone
