I Ain't Been Here Long

Joe Ely

I Ain't Been Here Long
I ain't sung my song
But light the road and kiss me on my way
About leavin' I ain't strong
But darlin' before long
You'll close your eyes and kiss me home to stay

I rolled down under a fat sun
Just knowin' you're the one
The miles were taken from me for a while
But the one consolin' thought
That my wheels a spinnin' caught
Was the reasurance of your partin' smile.

I Ain't Been Here Long
I ain't sung my song
But light the road and kiss me on my way
About leavin' I ain't strong
But darlin' before long
You'll close your eyes and kiss me home to stay
