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
