The Long Haul

They say you ain't been the same Since you laid that bottle down The songs they ain't got no soul The band's done lost its sound Get your head out of the clouds, boy Pretty soon you'll realize Sometimes the kindest thing you can do For a dream is let it die I'm in it for the long haul (long haul) I'm here until the work's done I ain't ever been the kind of guy (hoo-hoo) That's gonna cut and run (cut and run) So I'll pick myself up (pick myself up) Every time I fall Buddy, I'm in it for the long haul (long haul) See the hardest part Of getting sober Is learning a drinking buddy Ain't the same thing as a friend Just like the hardest part (hoo-hoo) Of starting over Is admitting to yourself (hoo-hoo) That something has come to an end (hoo, hoo-hoo) I'm in it for the long haul (long haul) I'm here until the work's done I ain't ever been the kind of guy (hoo-hoo) That's gonna cut and run (cut and run) So I'll pick myself up (pick myself up) Every time I fall (Hoo-hoo) baby, I'm in it for the long haul (long haul) I am solid as a Redwood She's standing by my side Got the patience of a sunset Her last nerves are my why So, last Sunday after supper I ask her why she stays She said "I ain't gonna be just another song" "About walking away" 'Cause, I'm in it for the long haul (long haul) I'm here until the works done (hoo-hoo) I ain't ever been the kind of gal (hoo-hoo) That's gonna cut and run (cut and run) So we'll pick ourselves up (pick ourselves up) Every time we fall (Hoo-hoo) honey, I'm in it for the long haul (long haul) Yes I'm in it for the long haul
