Won't Be Long
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
GNot so long ago I set out on this Emroad
With my Cfriends and my comDpanions by my Gside
And I think of you wherever I do Emgo
I'm a raCmbler, I ain'Dt hard to saGtisfy.
CHORUS:
CWon't be long till I am Dhome again with Gyou
Just a fFew more mCiles to gDo
Won't be Glong till I can Dget back on my Emown
Won't be Clong till I can spDend my time with Gyou
 G/  Em/  Em   C/  D  G  
In the airport I'm standing in a line
Search my pockets, check me out and I'm alright
It's not hard but it ain't easy all the time
To be in some other town most every night
CHORUS
Oh, I miss the singing from porch banjo nights
And when friends come by to pass the time away
And when the winds that chill the Bershires in the night
Heading east through Massachusetts toward the bay.
