I'm A Long Gone Daddy Lyrics

All you want to do is sit around and pout
And now I got enough and so I'm getting out

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I been in the doghouse so doggone long
That when I get a kiss I think that something's wrong

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right
You go get yourself a man that wants to fight

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

You start your jaws a-wagging and it never stop
You never shut your mouth until I blow my top

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I remember back when you were nice and sweet
Things have changed, you'd rather fight than eat

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I'm a-gonna do some riding on the midnight train
I'm taking everything except my ball and chain

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

Move It On Over

All you want to do is sit around and pout
And now I got enough and so I'm getting out

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I been in the doghouse so doggone long
That when I get a kiss I think that something's wrong

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right
You go get yourself a man that wants to fight

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

You start your jaws a-wagging and it never stop
You never shut your mouth until I blow my top

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I remember back when you were nice and sweet
Things have changed, you'd rather fight than eat

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

I'm a-gonna do some riding on the midnight train
I'm taking everything except my ball and chain

I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
