Too Long in the Wasteland

Hear the trucks on the highway And the ticking of the clock There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon Bullet holes in the mailbox Bullet holes in the mailbox Key holes in my mind Too long in the wasteland Too long in the wasteland I've fallen behind She said why don't you come see me When the sun goes down It'll be just like the old days When I used to let you hang around Well I don't know I might not speak the language anymore Too long in the wasteland Too long in the wasteland Will close some doors The people in the village Watch their children play At the sight of a stranger They call the kids away Just leave that man alone I hear the mother say He's been Too long in the wasteland Too long in the wasteland 's what made him that way Well, I hadn't intended To bend the rules But whiskey don't make liars It just makes fools So I didn't mean to say it But I meant what I said Too long in the wasteland Too long in the wasteland Must've gone to my head Jet trail in the sunset A long way away Cutting 'cross the horizon At the edge of the day And it calls Jimmy Come fly away But I've been Too long in the wasteland Too long in the wasteland I believe I'll have to stay Yeah, I've been Too long in the wasteland Too long in the wasteland I believe I'll have to stay
