[Verse 1]
Benny's in the basement
Talkin' 'bout the days when
He was Mister Friday Night
Mickey's at the bar
Playing for a tip jar
Down at the Golden Light
Well Jessie's perming curls
Talking gossip with the girls
Over at Sunny's Salon
I'm out here with the band
Countin' fingers on my hand
Of just long I've been gone

[Chorus]
It's been a long time
Yeah it's been a long time
I need to get back home and lay low for a little while
I'm driving all night
I'm driving all night
Just a few more miles 'til the Comal County line

[Verse 2]
Sarah's getting married
Swearing that she's ready
But Mom and Daddy ain't so sure
Ricky's at the courthouse
Filing for divorce now
No one stays in love anymore
Another friend of mine
Told me Junior's doin' time
Everybody knew that he'd get caught
Take me to a place where
Nothing ever changes
It's kinda like time forgot
[Chorus]
Man, it's been a long time
Yeah it's been a long time
I need to get back home and lay low for a little while
I'm driving all night
I'm driving all night
Just a few more miles 'til the Comal County line
The Comal County line

[Chorus]
It's been a long time
Yeah it's been a long time
I need to get back home and lay low for a little while
I'm driving all night
I'm driving all night
Just a few more miles 'til the Comal County line
Just a few more miles 'til the Comal County line
