I heard you're goin'
on a journey
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
toll 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 pray to that
unseen star
That no matter
where you are
You're gonna be alright
Now we're all
on some kind of joumey
Tomorrow I could be
leaving too
But wherever
I end up going
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
