Long Gone Lyrics by Guy

The Future

1990

[Intro: Teddy Riley]
This is a dedication, in memory of our family and friends
Al Davis, Jason
Duke Gilliard, Curtis Bun, Vaughn Drew
Damion and Aaron's mother, Jonnella Romeo Hall
And their aunt, Joyce Hall
Big Anthony B
T Roy from Heavy D & The Boyz
Sammy Davis, Jr, Sara Vaughn
My little brother, Brandon Mitchell from Wreckx-n-Effect
My grandmother and my grandfather

[Verse 1: Teddy Riley]
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
Life seems so short and then you're gone
I'm not gonna let the problems of this world
Get the best of me before I get the chance to see
My little girls grow up to be
Such fine young ladies, one big family
Gotta find us a place so far away
Where there'll be much better days
I wanna go away

[Chorus: Teddy Riley]
I wanna be long gone
Where the wind blows free
From sea to sea
Where I can be me
I've gotta be long gone
Somewhere I can call home
Just singing my song
I'll be long gone

[Verse 2: Teddy Riley]
If we try, I know we can succeed
We can be who we wanna be
When we wanna be
What we wanna be
Is a proud group of people (Of people)
Growing stronger everyday (Day)
Bringing peace in every way
Where every day could be a holiday

[Chorus: Teddy Riley]
I wanna be long gone
Where the wind blows free
From sea to sea
Where I can be me
I've gotta be long gone
Somewhere I can call home
Just singing my song
I'll be long gone
I've gotta be long gone

[Bridge: Teddy Riley & Aaron Hall]
I've gotta be long gone
Hey
I've gotta be long gone
Ooh, woah
I've gotta be long gone
Long gone, girl
I've gotta be long gone
Ooh, long gone

[Chorus: Teddy Riley & Aaron Hall]
I've gotta be long gone (Long gone)
Where the wind blows free (Free, yes)
From sea to sea (Sea to sea)
Where I can be me (I can be me)
I've gotta be long gone (Long gone)
Somewhere I can call home (Yeah)
Just singing my song (Singing my song)
I'll be long gone (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can you hear me? (Hey)
I want to be (I want to be) long gone (Long gone)
I've gotta be long gone (I've gotta be, I've gotta be, yeah)
Somewhere I can call home (Call home)
Just singing my song (Singing my song, singing my song)
I'll be long gone (I'll be long gone)
(Long gone)
Hey (Hey, hey), long gone
I want to be (I want to be) long gone (Long gone)
I've gotta be long gone (Long gone)
Somewhere I can call home (I can call home)
Just singing my song (Singing my song, singing my song)
I'll be long gone (Yeah)

[Outro: Aaron Hall & Teddy Riley]
Yeah, hey
Yeah
Hey
Hey, hey, long gone
Yeah
In the morning, in the night
Yeah
Promise it'll feel right
Give me the chance
One in the mornin', it won't be long
You gon' look for me and I'll be gone
I'll be long gone
I'll be long gone
Oh, yes, I will
I'll be long gone
Rest in peace
