Long Time

1. She was a hot blooded woman, he never saw it coming
She hit him from the side, it's blind
She never gave a warning, he woke up in the morning
Laying there next to his bride.

He got a little crazy when she got a little baby
'Cause it filled him with fatherly pride
But a couple years later when their love started fading
He hurt so badly then he died.

[Chorus:]
It's been a long time since I was faithful
It's been a long time since I was grateful
It's been a long time since I can look you in the eye
It's been a long time since I was grateful.

2. She's a mother with a daughter, sitting by the water
'Cause it's better for her baby to breathe
She got a Madison prison 'cause they didn't wanna listen
Now she's sitting, waiting on a repree.

And she loves her little baby but she gets a little crazy
'Cause it's harder than she ever could see
He left her on her own but she's doing it alone
'Cause she loved him, now you wouldn't believe.

[Chorus]

3. He's a friend and a lover, husband and a brother
He's always been a prodigal son
Gets a lot of trouble when he goes to see his momma
'Cause he curses like a son of a gun.

He's begging to his lady, let him see his baby
He swears that she's the only one
He's got a heart full of sorrow, he's living for tomorrow
And he's sorry for the day that is done.

[Chorus x3]
