The Civil Wars
Long Time Gone (Dustbowl Version)
Look out, Ma
Look out, Pa
Look at that horizon
Somethin's out there kickin' up dust
Oh, it's comin' fast
Look out, Sister
Look out, Brother
River's gonna be risin'
Somethin' we've been waiting for
Oh, it's here at last
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
Let's all sing
Let's all dance
Stomp our feet in that red clay
Come on out of those old brown fields
Watch 'em turn into gold
Watch 'em turn into gold
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
The wait is over
The winds have changed
And not a moment too soon
We've all done prayed for a single drop of rain
And now a storm's comin' through
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
(Ooh) It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
