Story Behind The Song
Everyone has regrets. Everyone has things in their past they wish would have been different or things they wish they done differently. But what really matters is what lies ahead. The past is a "long time gone," and all we can do is keep pushing on toward the future.

Lyrics
It's a long time
A long time gone
It's a long time
A long time gone
It's a long time
A long time gone
It's a good way
To get hurt
It's a good way
To get hurt
It's a long time
A long time gone
It's a long way
A long way back
It's a long way
A long way back
It's a long time
A long time gone
With the past far behind us
The future shrouded still ahead
Let's not worry on the things already done
Let's keep pushing on instead
It's a long row
Left to hoe
It's a long row
Left to hoe
It's a long time
A long time gone
It's a good day
To begin
It's a good day
To begin
It's a long time
A long time gone
It's a long time
A long time gone
