Long Time Fan

unknown

Oh, plane, take me away.
Said, i'll be sittin' here for the rest of my life
And i am really scared-- nick's not coming tonight.

And brother, i can't even think of a reason why...

Oh it makes a long time fan feel bad
Yeah, it makes a long time fan feel bad

Well, i ain't had no nick since i don't know when
It sure makes a long time fan feel bad

It was back in jacksonville
Cold windy night
My friends & i-- we began to like
That black-haired guy
And we grabbed our tickets...
Ooooh. i get so cold on those nights we were waiting to buy tickets....
And we would listen to him right there on the kitchen floor
We'd look at one another & begin to smile
His gaspin' words...
"from her.. to eternity"
And we'd imagine those baby blue eyes

Oh, makes along time fan feel bad
Uuuh, yeah it makes a long time fan feel bad
I ain't had no nick since i don't know when..
It sure makes along time fan feel bad
Yeah, makes a long time fan feel bad

Yeaaaah, yeah makes a fan feel so bad
Sometimes i hear your religious voice in the dead of the night

Makes a long time fan feel bad
Yeaaah, makes a long time fan feel bad
Mmmmmmmm, yeah. feeeel bad, bad

I ain't had that crowd around me
I ain't had that nick, that nick around me

It sure makes a long time fan feel bad, so bad
It sure makes a long time fan feel bad
Makes a long time fan feel bad, so bad....
