Long Run

We grew up where the river meets the sea,

And the birds sing a southern song.

I had some notion you would marry me.

Forgive my sentimental moment.

It's in my blood, this waiting too long.

Don't let anybody tell you

It meant nothing in the long run.

It meant nothing in the long run.

It meant nothing, nothing.

It meant nothing in the long run.

It meant nothing, nothing.

I found family and faith in a bar.

We'd all tell each other stories.

Won't forget their names, won't forget their scars.

We were naked in a wild world,

Burning years like leaves.

I hope, no I believe

It meant something in the long run.

It meant something, something.

It meant something in the long run.

We made something out of nothing at all.

We meant something in the long run.

We meant something, something. I know

We meant something in the long run.

We meant something, something.

We meant something in the long run.

I meant something to someone
