The Long Run - Remastered Lyrics
Eagles
Lyrics
I used to hurry a lot
I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out 'til the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage
I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely 'til I found you
You can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one
(is a strong one)
People talkin' about us
They got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down
We will still come through
In the long run
Ooh I want to tell you
It's a long run
You know I don't understand
Why you don't treat yourself better?
Do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in Houston baby
Couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to honey?
Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
I know we can take it
If our love is a strong one
(is a strong one)
We were scared but we ain't shakin'
Kinda bent but we ain't breakin'
In the long run
Ooh I want to tell you
It's a long run
Ay-ay
In the long run
Ooh uh, ay
In the long run
Gonna find out
Ooh fi-fi-fi-nd out
Long long long long
Long long long
Ooh run run run baby
Run run baby
Long long long long
Ooh run baby
