Michael Ray Little: Music
Long Time
(Michael Ray Little)
MICHAEL RAY LITTLE
SUMMER CALLED THIS MORNING
TOLD ME 'BOUT HER MA
WHO DIED WITHOUT WARNING
SOMEWHERE IN ARKANSAS
SHE LIVES IN ALBUQUERQUE NOW
WORKS IN A GALLERY
THOUGH ONCE I BROKE HER HEART
SHE STILL THINKS A LOT OF ME
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME
A REAL LONG TIME - HEY - HEY
SHE WAS JUST TOO YOUNG & RICH
AND I WAS ON THE RUN
EVERY TIME I FELT THE ITCH
I FOLLOWED EVENING'S SUN
WE'D CLIMB ON TOP OF VESPER HILL
AND TALK ABOUT THE WORLD
THE VIEW FROM THERE WAS SO UNREAL
SHE WAS A PRETTY GIRL
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME
A REAL LONG TIME - HEY - HEY
I SAW HER LAST AT JOHNNY RAY'S
WHEN SHE WAS GOING THRU TOWN
OM HER WAY BACK TO THE MOUNTAINS
SHE PLAYED GUITAR
I PLAYED THE CLOWN
SHE'LL ALWAYS BE A MOUNTAIN GIRL
SHE'LL ALWAYS BE MY FRIEND
SHE SAID THE SONG I WROTE IN THE GARDEN
STILL CIRCLES VESPER ON THE WIND
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME
A REAL LONG TIME - HEY - HEY
