Long, Long Time Songtext
von Earl Lee Grace

Well, I woke up to the sounds of Sharleena on the phone
She was talking to her mother, saying "Come and take me home
That man has made a wreck of me", she said between the tears
"But I′ll wait for him a hundred million years"

It'll take a long, long time for me to walk the line
It′s been a long, long ride now through the whiskey and the wine
But if you smile, don't cry, for a while, little child
It'll take a long, long time but you can try


Well now, she′s never been a sinner and I′ve never been a saint
She always fixes dinner and I'm almost always late
There′s things that I do that she can't
Stand and all of my friends she hates
But still we just go on attempting fate

It′ll take a long, long time for me to walk the line
It's been a long, long ride now through the whiskey and the wine
But if you smile, don′t cry, for a while, little child
It'll take a long, long time but you can try

It'll take a long, long time for me to walk the line
It′s been a long, long ride now through the whiskey and the wine
But if you smile, don′t cry, just for a while, little child
It'll take a long, long time but you can try

It′ll take a long, long time but you can try
It'll take a long, long time
But you can try
