EAGLES LYRICS - The Long Run

"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

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, 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 is

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)

Well, we're 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

in the long run

in the long run, [etc.]
