BEEN A LONG TIME #1
Pile in the van: Me, B and Sam
Not gonna make it too far
Sam at the wheel, B on the phone of course
I play a little guitar
Been a long time since we did something like that
Pulled into Pittsburgh, started a fire
Barely got out with our lives
On into Jersey where it starts to get fuzzy
Exiles on the Lower East Side
Been a long time
We should go do that again
From the Cumberland River on through Tuscaloosa
To the lot lizards of Lake Charles
Knock on your door at a quarter to four
Welcome to the Dirty South
Been a long time
Wish we were back there right now
Well even mistakes are bigger in Texas
Got high as a mountain but fell
All I remember about Oklahoma:
I was hungover as Hell
Been a long time
Since I was sick on the roadside like that
New Orleans is not the place to get sober
Or even to slow down at all
Wish I could tell you how we got to Chicago
Legend has it we had a ball
Been a long time
I don’t rightly recall
The 17th Level of Weirdness was conquered
With the wall up against our backs
Husbands and lawmen emerge empty handed
From the shit storm that covered our tracks
Been a long time
But I don’t think that I’ll forget that
Been a long time
But I don’t think that I’ll forget that
