With a mighty roar
It lifts off the tarmac and leaves a world behind
She never thought he'd go, but now he's gone
And she tries to remember his face, his hands
Kisses in the rain, rain
But the pictures fading fast, and whoops it's gone
[Chorus:]
So long...
So long...
So long...
So long
Well they cleaned their guns and they went off to fight
And that's how the West was won, won
Setting fire to tepees
In the sun
If you're ready to die
For what you believe, you can believe most anything
But I'd rather face the future
Than a gun
[Chorus:]
So long...
So long...
So long...
So long
Well he's lying in a foxhole
With her picture on his heart, heart
Dreaming of making love in the morning sun
A house on a hill,
Two lovely kids
He never heard the bullet come, come
Well it clipped him from world
And now he's gone
[Chorus:]
So long...
So long...
So long...
So long
[Chorus:]
So long...
So long...
So long...
So long
[Chorus:]
So long...
So long...
So long...
So long
