Yeah, they came to take me away   Said I'd be sitting 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      Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad   Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad   Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when   It sure makes a long time man feel bad      We was down in Jacksonville   A cold winter night   My baby and I, we began to fight   I heated up, and I grabbed my gun   I get so cold on those nights down south      She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor   She looked up at me and began to smile   Her gasping words: "Baby, I love you"   Then she closed those baby blue eyes      Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad   Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad   Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when   It sure makes a long time man feel bad      Sometimes I hear you call my name in the dead of the night      I ain't had those arms around me   I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me      It sure makes a long time man feel bad   So bad
