Everlast - Long Time Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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, grateful
