Long Time Here Songtext
von The Walkabouts

If you want good times I know where to look
And if you want good times I will
They′re thrown on the bed with your junkyard religion
At the best of the western motels

Thrown with the pawns and the hardscrabble rooks
Thrown with our ransom of kings
But if you want goodtimes, I know where to look
And I know it's goodtimes you want

Long time here
Long time here
I′ll keep you around, holding this ground
I'll keep you a long time here


In 24 hours we could be in Vegas
Where the heat is a possible friend
Where snake eyes and boxcars could wet down your whistle
And steal all the noise from your head

But your hell is hotter then the typical thirst
And in Vegas the ice is not cheap
And heaven's a backroom where the gamblin′ don′t finish
And you keep makin' the same mistakes

Long time here
Long time here
I′ll keep you around, holding this ground
I'll keep you alone

Long time here
Long time here
Long time here
Long time here

I′ll keep you around, holding this ground
I'll keep you a long time here
