Long Time Running

Does your 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 coming

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 coming

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 boatload of nerve

But I would say you've been told

You work me against my friends and you'll get

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 coming

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

It's well worth the wait

It's well worth the wait

It's well worth the wait

It's well worth the wait
