I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of day
oh that didnt git it, it was high time I quit it
I just couldnt carry on that way
oh, I did some damage, I know its true
didn't know I was so lonely till I found you

who can go the distance?
we'll find out in the long run, in the long run
we can handle some resistance
if our love is a strong one. is a strong one
people talkin about us, they got nothing else to do
when it all comes down we will still come through
in the long run
ooh I want to tell you it's a long run

you know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better
do the crazy things that you do
when all the debutantes back in Houston baby
couldn't hold a candle to you
did you do it for love, did you do it for money
did you do it for spite, did you think you had to honey?

who is gonna make it?
well find out in the long run, in the long run
I know we can take it
if our love is a strong one, is a strong one
well were scared but we ain't shakin
kinda bent but we ain't breakin
in the long run
ooh I want to tell you it's a long run
