Long Time Ago

My best friend told me you were back in town
Remember the last time you was around
A Long Time Ago
You came to me and called to me
You damned near institutionalized me
A Long Time Ago

Just took a look at your photograph
The look on your face made me laugh
Do you still take yourself so seriously?
Do you still try to act so mysteriously
Remember when you had me under your spell
You bit my lip and my heart as well
A Long Time Ago

A long time ago, I was so bruised because of you
But now the reds back into my face, I'm back living in the human race
and I'm never gonna be who I used to be a long time ago

Bitch Bitch Bitch, Cry Cry Cry
A Long Time Ago

Am I the only one hoping for Town Burned Down to be issued on vinyl? Or just officially issued in any format?

Who owns the masters? Do they still exist?

How about a GoFundMe to get this thing released? Of course maybe it's just me lol

Chris Quillen ("Monster") on those high backing vocals. Chillbumps me up now just as much as it did when he record them. That boy sure could sing a harmony.

Not sure if it's on the official website anymore but there used to be a post from Patterson saying there were plans to release it someday. Would also love to see him release Tales of Snake Handling.

Tales of Snake Handling?? do tell

Tales of Snake Handling?? do tell

A cassette only pre-DBT's release (if it can be called that). I believe artwork called "Tales of Snake Handling" can be seen at some point during The Secret of A Happy Ending. I can't think of the artists' name off the top of my head but it's not Wes Freed. I've also heard tell of an early Cooley cassette. Doubt they'll ever see any sort of official release but maybe one day when and if there's ever a box set...
