Long Time Running Lyrics

Long Time Running lyrics

Does you mother tell you things?

Long, long when I'm gone?

Who you talking to?

Is she telling you I'm the one?

It's a grave mistake and I'm wide awake.



Drive-In's rained out

Weatherman wet-fingers the sky

He pokes it out, he pulls it in

He don't know why

It's the same mistake



It's been a long time running

It's been a long time running

It's well worth the wait



We don't go anywhere

Just on trips

We haven't seen a thing

We still don't know where it is

It's a safe mistake



It's been a long time running

It's been a long time running



Well, well it's all the same mistake

Dead to rights and wide awake

I'll drop a caribou, I'll tell on you

I'll tell on you, I'll tell on you



You've got a boat-load O'nerve

But I would say you've been told

You work me against my friends

And you'll get left out in the cold

It's the same mistake



It's been a long time running

It's been a long time running

It's been a long, long, long time running

It's well worth the wait
