I heard you’re goin’ on a joumey
And your route is laid out plain
Goin’ where the sun shines every day
No more heartache, no more pain
Don’t you pack those bags too full, my friend,
Make sure you’re travellin’ light
But take enough of my love with you
To keep you warm at night
And I could be singin’ this song
Long after you’re gone
And I could be singin’ this song
Long after you’re gone
I hope that journey takes you everywhere
That you ever wanted to go
Hope the bad bits go past real quick
And the good times roll real slow
And I could be singin’ this song
Long after you’re gone
And I could be singin’ this song
Long after you’re gone
Now the heavens are weeping
And I will not be sleeping tonight
I'll pray to that unseen star
That no matter where you are
You’re gonna be alright
‘Cause we’re all on some kind of joumey
Tomorrow I could be leaving too
But wherever I end up going, babe,
I’ll take a little piece of you
You could be singin’ this song
Long after I’m gone
And I could be singin’ this song
Long after you’re gone
Someone will be singin’ this song
Long after we’re both gone
Long after we’re both gone
