Long Time a Comin'

When I first met you I was ready to

Give up this life of drinking and a bummin

But all my promises

Are a long time a'comin

Well look at us, sitting on this bus

We're still poor, we're still struggling

Waiting for that lucky break

But it's a long time a'comin

Up in the blue beyond, above the great divide

Everything can't be wrongSomebody must be getting it right

Well I'm still me, and I'll never be

A slave to any man or woman

Someday you'll be proud of me

But it's a long time a comin

A long time a'comin

A long time a'comin
