[Verse 1]

I stay up, stay out too late

Hardheaded and set in my ways

I got that from the man that raised me

It drives you crazy sometimes, I know

Got a short fuse, attitude

I can be hard to put up with

Don't make it easy on you

But you never quit

[Chorus]

That's why I bow my head

Thank the Lord He ain't

The only one I know with amazing grace

You love me so damn good

And I just don't know how

'Cause, girl, if I was you

I'd have been gone by now

Long gone by now, yeah

[Verse 2]

I know you've gotta get tired of goodbye, baby

Watching me pull out the driveway

Ain't got two miles down the highway

And I've been gone too long

Sitting there alone on a Sunday morning, praying for me

I've given you so many reasons to go

But, girl, you don't

[Chorus]

So, I hit my knees and bow my head

Thank the Lord He ain't

The only one I know with amazing grace

You love me so damn good

And I just don't know how

'Cause, girl, if I was you

I'd have been gone by now

Long gone by now

Long gone by now

[Bridge]

It takes a special kind of woman

To put up with a boy like me

That's why every night

Before I go to sleep

[Chorus]

I bow my head

Thank the Lord He ain't

The only one I know with amazing grace

You love me so damn good

And I just don't know how

'Cause, girl, if I was you

I'd have been gone by now

Yeah, girl, if I was you

I'd have been gone by now

Long gone by now

[Outro]

Long gone by now

Long gone by now
