Yeah, they came to take me away
They said I'd be sitting here for the rest of my life
But I don't really care - I shot my wife
And brother, I can't even remember the reason why
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
I ain't had no loving since I don't know when
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
We was down in Jacksonville
A cold winter night
My baby and I, we began to fight
I heated up, and I grabbed my gun
On a very very cold night down south
She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor
She looked up at me and began to smile
Her gasping words: "Baby, I love you"
Then she closed those baby blue eyes
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
I ain't had no loving since I don't know when
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Makes a long time man feel bad
I ain't had no loving since I don't know when
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
