Lyrics The Walkabouts

The Walkabouts

Long Time Here

If you want good times

I know where to look

And if you want good times I will

They're thrown on your 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 X2

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 X2

I'll keep you around

Holding this ground

I'll keep you a long . . . .

Long time here X4

I'll keep you around

Holding this ground

I'll keep you a long time here
