Long Time a Comin'

When I first met you I was ready to
Give up this life of drinking and a bummin
But all my promises
Are a long time a'comin

Well look at us, sitting on this bus
We're still poor, we're still struggling
Waiting for that lucky break
But it's a long time a'comin

Up in the blue beyond, above the great divide
Everything can't be wrong

Somebody must be getting it right

Well I'm still me, and I'll never be
A slave to any man or woman
Someday you'll be proud of me
But it's a long time a comin
A long time a'comin
A long time a'comin
