Long Time Comin'

Long Time Comin' Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy And the moon comes skimmin’ away the stars The wind in th mesquite comes rushin’ over the hilltops Straight into my arms(2X) I’m riding hard carryn’ a catch of roses And a fresh map that I made Tonight I’m gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul And dance on its grave(2X) It’s been a long time comin’, my dear, It’s been a long time comin’ but now it’s here Well my daddy he was just a stranger Lived in a hotel downtown When I was a kid he was just somebody Somebody I’d see around(2X) Now down below and pullin’ on my shirt I got some kids of my own Well if I had one wish in this god forsaken world, kids It’d be that your mistakes would be your own Yeah!, your sins would be your own It’s been a long time......but now it’s here Out ‘neath the arms of Cassiopeia Where the sword of Orion sweeps It’s me and you, Rosie crackin’ like crossed wires And you breathin’ in your sleep Well there’s just a spark of campfire burning Two kids in a sleeping bag beside I reach neath your shirt, lay my hands across your belly And feel another one kickin’ inside I ain’t gonna f*** it up this time It’s been a long.....but now it’s here(2X)
