Long Time A Comin'

When I first met you
I was ready to
Give up this life
Of drinking and of bumming
But all my promises
Are a long time a-coming

Well now 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-coming

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-coming

A long time a-coming
A long time a-coming
