Well, all you want to do is sit around and talk 
And now I've got enough and I'm a-steppin' out 
I'm leavin' now, hey, I'm leavin' now 
Hey, I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow. 

Oh, I've been in the doghouse for so doggone long 
That when I get a kiss I think that somethin's wrong 
So I'm leavin' now, hey, I'm leavin' now 
'Cause, I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow. 

I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right 
You go get yourself a man that wants to fuss and fight 
So I'm leavin' now, hey, I'm leavin' now 
'Cause I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow. 

Lord, you start your jaws a waggin' and they never stop 
You never hush your mouth until I blow my top 
So I'm leavin' now, hey, I'm leavin' now 
Yeah, I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow. 

I remember back when you were nice and sweet 
Things have changed you'd rather fight than eat 
So I'm leavin' now, yeah, I'm leavin' now 
'Cause I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow. 

Yeah, I'm gonna do some ridin' on the midnight train 
I'm taking ev'rything except my ball and chain 
Well, I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now 
'Cause I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow. 

Yeah, I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow...
