[Verse 1]
Mmm, they came to take me away
They said I'd be 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
[Chorus]
Yeah, it makes a long timer man feel bad
Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad, yes it does
I ain't had no love since I don't know when
Mmm, makes a long timer man feel bad
[Verse 2]
We was down in Jacksonville
A cold winter night
My baby and I, we began to fight
I heated up, I grabbed my gun
One very, very cold winter night down south
Ah, she was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor
She looked at me and she began to smile
Her gasping words: "Baby, I love you"
Then she closed those baby blue eyes
[Chorus]
Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
I ain't had no love, you know I can't remember when
Yeah, it makes a long timer man feel bad
Ohhh, I'm a-feelin' bad
Yeah, you know it makes a long time man feel bad
They're gonna keep me here, right here for the rest of my natural life
[?] feelin' bad
Yes, oh it makes a long time man feel bad, yes it does
It makes a long time man, a-he's a-feelin' damn bad
I ain't had those arms around me
I ain't had those lips, those lips around me
Baby, oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
