I Been Gone a Long Time Lyrics

What we're doing is so wrong, and what you're wearing is so right, it's so tight, but I've never felt better, so I'm going out to get her and I don't care what set of wheels I steal to get there. Balance is a minor setback. What she thinks is alright, and the way that she looks is just fine. She sure as hell ain't you but lord knows she'll have to do. She don't know I'm alive but neither do I so there's nothing left to lose. If I could only make it make you want to want me. One more drink, I think, should do. I wish that I could say I'd love to watch you walk away, but you probably won't be back to hear it. So it's just as well. No one out there gets back in alive. So I'll love the way you stand so close to a guy who we both know can't get near it. Strike when ready. Burn the highway down. Let me hear her high heels moan. I'm ready, set, go. There's cocaine in the key that took us from the bar to her bedroom. Only the lonesome love us. Only the careless can handle us. What's wrong with us that we're so unamused?

yeah but let's utilize this website for what it's for. It's obviously about a man who's cheating on his lady, or he's just a whore. --Dyl

^^^I agree

The video illustrates that point pretty well too.

I disagree with PandasLikePunkToo, I think the video pretty much explains the whole meaning.

Yeah, the video is pretty much right on track.

But there're some things I think the video didn't add in due to time constraints. But it still got the basic point across.

"Balance is a minor setback" - Him being drunk, I believe.

"What she thinks is alright, and the way that she looks is just fine. She sure as hell ain't you but lord knows she'll have to do." - Not his girl but he doesn't care, probably because he's drunk.

"She don't know I'm alive but neither do I so there's nothing left to lose. If I could only make it make you want to want me." - She's doing him for the money, obviously due to her not caring about him at all. But he wants her to.

"One more drink, I think, should do." - He's drunk.

Peace
