The Long Haul Songtext
They say, "You ain't been the same
Since you laid that bottle down
The songs ain't got no soul
The band's done lost its sound
Get your head out of the clouds, boy
Pretty soon you'll realize
That sometimes the kindest thing you can do
For a dream, is let it die"
I'm in it for the long haul
Since you laid that bottle down
The songs ain't got no soul
The band's done lost its sound
Get your head out of the clouds, boy
Pretty soon you'll realize
That sometimes the kindest thing you can do
For a dream, is let it die"
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kinda guy
That's gonna cut and run
So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Buddy, I'm in it for the long haul
See, the hardest part
Of getin' sober
Is learnin' a drinkin' buddy
Ain't the same thing as a friend
Just like the hardest part
Of startin' over
Is admittin' to yourself
That somethin' has come to an end
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kinda guy
That's gonna cut and run So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Baby, I'm in it for the long haul
I'm as solid as a redwood
She's standin' by my side
Got the patience of a sunset
Her last nerves are my why
So last Sunday after supper
I asked her why she stays
She said, "I ain't gonna be just another song
About walkin' away"
'Cause I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kinda gal
That's gonna cut and run
So we'll pick ourselves up
Every time we fall
Honey, I'm in it for the long haul
Yes, I'm in it for the long haul
I ain't ever been the kinda guy
That's gonna cut and run
So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Buddy, I'm in it for the long haul
See, the hardest part
Of getin' sober
Is learnin' a drinkin' buddy
Ain't the same thing as a friend
Just like the hardest part
Of startin' over
Is admittin' to yourself
That somethin' has come to an end
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kinda guy
That's gonna cut and run So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Baby, I'm in it for the long haul
I'm as solid as a redwood
She's standin' by my side
Got the patience of a sunset
Her last nerves are my why
So last Sunday after supper
I asked her why she stays
She said, "I ain't gonna be just another song
About walkin' away"
'Cause I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kinda gal
That's gonna cut and run
So we'll pick ourselves up
Every time we fall
Honey, I'm in it for the long haul
Yes, I'm in it for the long haul
