the long run

i used to hurry a lot

i used to worry a lot

i used to stay out till the break of day

but 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

you know it's true

didn't know i was so lonely till 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've 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

well

we're scared

but we ain't shakin'

we're kinda bent but we ain't breakin' in the long run

ooh

i want to tell you it's a long run

yeah

yeah

yeah in the long run

ooh

i want to tell you it's a long run

gonna find out

oh

we're gonna find out in long run

we're gonna find out

yeah

we're gonna find out in the long run

in the long run

yeah

yeah

yeah

gonna find out

gonna find out in the long run
