Song Lyrics

Well there's life and there's fate
And dreams are dying that's hard to take
And blames to be avoided by the wise
And there's love and there's hate
And miles and miles of interstate
Just sitting there waiting for the drive

Like a long time comin'
Like a long time comin'
Like a long time comin'
Long time

Well there's smiles and there's tears
And whiles to remember a hundred years
And reasons for the things a heart requires
And there's close and there's far
Spinning planets and blinking stars
Just watching every fool lose his heart's desire

Like a long time comin'
Like a long time comin'
A long time comin'
Long time

And your bones are tired and you've lost your pride
Put it all away and step into the light
And let that train roll down its lonely way to the night
And out of sight

Well there's cold and there's hot
And things that come just to stir the pot
And words that ain't worth the time they take to say
There's right and there's wrong
And a drunk to write another song
About that thing they had that got away

Like a long time comin'
Like a long time comin'
Like a long time comin'
Long time

Bruce Robison, Micky Braun
