Long Time Comin'

Hm, listen

Friend of mine said, "A long time comin'

Been a long time gone"

Stood right here, whispered in my ear

All the love gone wrong

I've been living my life like a howling wind

And I can't put out this flame

Friend of mine said, "A long time comin'

Coming back again"

All this time the wheels been turning, turning like a screw

Down some roads of silver and gold

But I could never find you

Been living my life like a lonesome whistle blowin'

Now, I can't turn back

Friend of mine said, "A long time comin'

Coming down the track"

And if I told the truth

All these memories of you

Well that's why I play the game

Friend of mine said, "A long time comin'

Like it never came"

I've sang these songs a thousand times

Ever since I was young

It's a long time comin' and a drummer keeps drummin'

Your work is never done

I still see you there in that silver blue air

And I never have moved on

Friend of mine said, "A long time comin'"

I'm just a long time gone

Friend of mine said, "A long time comin'"

I'm a long time gone
