Long Gone Lyrics

akon:
i used to tell my homie
slow down time after time
but he never would listen
until he got some time
the life that he was living
i knew it wasnt right
the judge gave him that sentence
and put him up for life
you dont miss the water
til the well runs dry
dont miss the living til they die
dont know the reason
dont know why
we just let life pass us by

chorus:
cause you never know (never know)
what you got (what you got)
until its gone (gone away)
away away away away
long long gone
cause you never know (never know)
what you got (what you got)
until its gone away
away away away away
long long gone

rock city:
see my best friend used to stay with me
each and every day hed chill with me
always told me to pray for me
but i always thought that hell be fine
now i got to watch his mother cry
cos she loved him child
dont miss the water
til the well runs dry
dont miss the living til they die
dont know the reason
dont know why
we just let life pass us by.

chorus:
cause you never know (never know)
what you got (what you got)
until its gone away
away away away away
long long gone
cause you never know (never know)
what you got (what you got)
until its gone away
away away away away
long long gone

so dont you take for granted
the life youve been handed
be thankful and grateful
cause life goes on
with or without you
plus theres so many people worse off than you
with no chance of changing
its truly up to you

chorus:
cause you never know (never know)
what you got (what you got)
until its gone away
away away away away
long long gone
cause you never know (never know)
what you got (what you got)
until its gone away
away away away away
long long gone
