Been So Long
By Karen Lawrence and Fred Hostetler

Well, it’s been so long
Since I had you by my side
Well, it's been so long
Since I had you by my side
I spent my time tryin’ to get over you
Spent my days just walkin’
Puttin’ holes in my shoes
And every night runnin’
Lost in my blues
You left me so lonely what could I do
Without you

Well, it’s been so long
Since you been gone
And I learned a thing or two
I’ve been up
I’ve been down
And I paid the piper’s due
It’s just as well that we did part
Tho’ for a spell you know it broke my heart
It was always hell from the start
You left me so lonely what could I do
Without you

Bridge: I don’t know what’s right
            You got to do what you got to do
             If it ain’t worth the fight
             You’ve got nothing to hold onto

            I can’t say what’s right
            You got to do what you got to do
            All those endless nights
            Still you’ve got nothing to hold onto

Well, it’s been so long
Since I had you on my mind
Well, it's been so long
Since I had you on my mind
I’ve been spinnin’ my wheels in place
I realize I’m just a hopeless case
‘Cuz I just fell apart when I saw your face
You left me so lonely what could I do
Without you
