Armstrong, Billie Joe - Long Time Gone Lyrics
You cheated me
And made me lonely
I tried to be
Your very own
You'll want me only
But when I leave
I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave
I'll be a long time gone
You're gonna be sad
You're gonna be blue
And all alone
You'll regret the day
You seen me leavin'
'Cause when I leave
I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave
I'll be a long time gone
You'll see my face
Through tears and sorrow
You'll miss the love
You called your own
Baby, there'll be
No tomorrow
'Cause when I leave
I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave
I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave
I'll be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave
I'll be a long time gone

Thought the Everley Bros. did a good job on this--but this is super--no disrespect to the Everley bros.!!
Overall I think Billie Joe has done it all 100% right. I met him in 1993 (right before they took off) and he seemed very precarious and worried about the whole "selling out" thing but he still managed to be nice to a total stranger which was myself. He had really cool dreads that he cut for whatever reason before the "Longview" video. They weren't on Reprise Records yet but they had a 4 song demo they were giving to people. He seemed to lighten up after the show and after he ate his Mac and Cheese. Not to mention they were all getting over being sick. I'll never forget Mike informing us that they could not drink alcohol because they were all on antibiotics...... but Pot was okay. In fact I remember them smoking a lot of pot.
This always brings you back to the one that got away.
“When I leave I leave I’ll be long time gone” why does this sound so familiar *Says sarcastically and giggles*
That about does it. So fun!
Billie Joe at an interview in 1994: I hate country music
Billie Joe 20 years later: **sings a country music**
That proves that he is a walking contradiction. He's still great tho
By far my favorite song that these 2 did together, absolutely delightful :)
Through headphones, those keys tickle me brain 😅
I love billie joe Armstrong
What I noticed about your voice Norah, is that , it is so badass, a duet does it shame.
Im gonna cry
Awesome
And in such a good way
Wow. This is, wow
Fantastic.....love it.
Mňam mňam, výýýbornééé.:)))))))))))))))))))
I think he always great .....
Amazing song.... Great dual...nirvana
Bellissima canzone,adoro Norah Jones e Billie joe
I´m not sure if i like this type of music.....but i definitely love their voices;)
What would be really cool is if Green Day did a collaboration with someone like, maybe, Carrie Underwood or Danielle Bradbery, and merged their punk rock style with country-pop, resulting in some awesome country rock song. It would sound like, maybe Brantley Gilbert, or Avenged Sevenfold's country song, "Dear God", with more of a Green Day sound.
country songs are so boring
More. please. I could care less what others think. This sounds really good and I'm glad he tried new genres of music.
The most unlikely, but the most perfect collaboration. Love this so much
everly brotherssssssss
The most unlikely duet will always cut down the rest!! Best duet ever.
Nora, to damn hOt for this.....
oh my.......................
,,,how, i mean,, howw the fuck,,,am i hearing this now,,,, where have i been this duo is amazing //: ...am an old green day fan, lost track of them with years, and now this shows, :
It would be interesting to see if the link in fefe's blog changed viewers/day in a significant way or if people stopped clicking his links to music videos. :-)
auf Mehr , dann Statistik dann täglich klicken. ist aber nichts zu sehen bis jetzt ^^
Inzwischen sieht man was. :D
I only came here because of Fefe.
You're gonna be blue and all alone ;)
long time gone friends
This album certainly "captures" the Everly sound. Phil and Don would be proud of this cover. It's nice to hear the songs performed with the benefit of today's technology. Great sound.
Wow this is so beautiful im gonna die
Don't die :)
Revel in the beauty of the Everly Brothers harmonies accurately rendered by Billie and Nora!
green day
I love this.
I LOVE this song
Just an amazing cover, so similar to the brilliant Everlys
Though I love Jones's work regardless, I really enjoy her duets. Wither it be with Bonnie Raitt and Willie Nelson, or with Cyndi Lauper and Billie Joe Armstrong.
nice to hear Norah's voice doing country
Billie should do a cover of earth Angel
holy shit i really dislike folk but fuck it Billie Joe i love this
+Mary Clifford This isn't folk music, it's country and the song is a cover of the Everly brothers.
@RastaSaiyaman right,thanks I didn't know this is cover.
this sounds great like the 50s and billie joe is trying to bring the 1950s back to this future in time yes indeed
I always wanted to hear Billie Joe Armstrong cover an Everly brothers song. I always thought he sounded like them.
Love it!
For a second I thought that Billie had a sandwich in his hair 😂😂
hahahah I saw this comment and had to look at the pic like five times hahah true
Kora Riegelhuth me too
Actually is it a mic in his hair??
billie joe will turn into jazz
Nice song very popular on our local radio stations South Africa
Billie <3
I heard there making a new album in 2016
+Ayelen gallardo who is ?
Green day *-*
they are.
I'm in a coffeehouse when I heard this .... about freaked out ... I'm 61 and hadn't heard anything so perfect in years .... they nail it .
This is microphone, not a fuckin freak hair cut (billie)
When I saw these two names listed together, I thought WTF?!!!! But what a wonderful surprise. Love it. Lots. Can't stop playing it.
I was thinking the same.
I dedicate this song to all the great people I lost in my life.
lol this is terrible
+blisterpacman its simple. you're a fkn idiot. :D
I grew up listening to the Everly Brothers. Norah & Billie brought back memories of them. Love their music.
No one can singing like Don and Phil!
But Norah and Billie Joe came nearly.
Fantastic.I´m a Everly Fan, but that´s the finest tribute to theEB
I don't like folk but I like this song
+Lucas Tilford It isnt folk Learn.
This is so weird; Billie Joe is singing country!!!!!!!
genial no habia conocido esa faceta e bille
Great album. Ten stars!!!
I wonder when the next Greenday album will come out? Or does Billie plan on doing something different for a while?
+Mitchthemysteryman spring 2016
@Max JaCk خونا من البانك روك ولا كايغني غنا تالعروبية ههههههههههه
هههههه راهم قمة الصداع شي مرات تانبقا هي نخلط فيهم
راهم كبرووو دارو عقلهم واقيلا ؟!
راك كاتحلم هادوك عمرهم اديرو عقلهم
هههه ملنعرف انا بعدا سنوااات ماهدرت معاهم داكشي علاش غلت ربما اديرو عقلهم
هههههههههه يلاه العام لي فات شتيهم
Right up there with a respectful Everly Brothers sound. Both artists are incredible on tunes like this. Billie Joe is following in the footsteps of some great artists such as Kid Rock, Darius Rucker and Eddie Vedder who have found great success with other music genres. This is a good career move too -- it proves how good he is with the likes of Norah Jones and his diversity is on target. Maybe this is all sparked by what Robert Plant did with Alison Krauss -- if so, bring it on. This is so good.
@John LaStrada I totally agree!
Good job! I like this a lot.
I remember how all GD fans freaked out when this came out. We all thought GD was over, and Billie would begin a solo career. Thank God that didn't turn out to be true and GD is coming back! Anyways, I find this album surprisingly relaxing.
THEY ARE BACK IN 2 DAYS😍❤
THE FEELS
@Valentina C THEY ARE BACK! THE FEELS!
7101998GreenDay lol they all made a vow they would never break up, the fans know that
I love This, And I'm A Everly Bro fan,Never thought i'd say this But its just as good.
true beauty :-)
This is an answer to all those who say Billie's voice isn't good.
He has a good voice, great singer, my inspiration.
Who said Billie doesn't sound good 😂
@DamThatRiver85 you have got to be kidding me
@DamThatRiver85 suck your mom
He may not the greatest singer but his voice has a distinct x factor. I remember one time when I first heard 21 Guns on our local radio, I just heard the first words I already knew it was Green Day because of his voice, and I think that makes him stand out
Prawie jak Everly Brothers :D
the song is great n all but please billie uno dos and tre are getting old come back to green day and hammer out some more songs please!
Billy can be singing shit on q shingle and I would love it... Because I love him.
I wanna hear norah' voice
zwei geniale Stimmen....wow
this is awesome ! these two work great together, kudos to whoever got the idea to ask Nora and BJA to work together, wouldn't think of it in a million years
I love Green Day, but I love this as well. I say good for Billie Joe, his voice goes really well with Norah Jones.
This is great!!!
Never heard of these folks, I just found this looking for the Everly's version, nice job!
Billy Joe came across the Everly Brother's Album, "Songs Our Father Sang", and liked it. He envisioned he and Norah Jones doing this, and here it is! I'm shocked at the number of people who say Green Day was never punk. They were very punk, and have gone on to be a great rock band. Billy Joe's voice is amazing. It shows real cajones to step so far out of his comfort zone. Amazing CD!
The album was actually called, "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us" lol.
Lol, Mea culpa
sounds like the Everly Brothers or Simon&Garfunkel.
I would not suppose that it is a man & woman singing...
I fail to understand why people are complaining about BJA doing this. If anything you should be happy that he's flaunting his vocal flexibility which has turned out to be gorgeous. If you don't like it, go back to listening to Green Day's stuff and stitch your minds a little tighter.
Side note: I'm a die hard fan of both Green Day and Norah Jones. :)
Its Good
so wait, everyone is pissed mr. greenday would do this...this is probably the best thing he has ever done.
wow billie joe made actual good music for the first time in like fifteen years
like like like likee!! <3
Well look who the Civil Wars inspired!
@Roy Batty What makes you say they got inspired by the Civil Wars? This is a completely different genre and sound. If its the fact that they formed a girl and guy duet for this album then there have been so many other groups like Fleetwod Mac or She and Him. You should have said, "Look who the Everly Brothers inspired!"
I was speaking more to the visual aspect of their pairing. It was a compliment to both teams of artists. Their music also has a quasi-rootsy/country feel mixed with soul.
surprisingly good! I had no Idea it was BJ singing on this
and besides he never sang in an actual "punk band"..he sang in Green day hahaha
