Lyrics

A Long Time Coming

[Verse 1]

Oh, I walk the line for you

Each and every day

And there's a bullet with my name on it

Or at least that's what they say

[Verse 2]

You take me for granted

And it's such a cryin' shame

Because I would gladly give my life for you

Each and every day

[Bridge]

It's been a long time coming

It took a long time to get to me

It doesn't matter which side I'm on

I always feel like I'm in the wrong

It doesn't matter which side I'm on

It just keeps losing

[Verse 1]

I walk the line for you (I walk the line for you)

Each and ever day (each and every day)

[Bridge]

It doesn't matter which side I'm on

I always feel like I'm in the wrong

It doesn't matter which side I'm on

It just keeps losing

[Refrain]

It's been a long time coming

It took a long time to get to me

It's been a long time coming

It took a long time to get to me

(Long time, long time coming)

It's been a long time coming

Long time, long time coming

Long time, long time coming
