Ashford & Simpson - It's The Long Run lyrics

rate me

Chorus:

It's the long run

It's the finish that counts, baby

It's the long run

It's the finish that counts in the end

Repeat Chorus

Some folks walk through life with their eyes closed

Giving up the moment

A little bit of trouble shows

It's too rough

It's too tough

They complain constantly

Never going the distance or far enough to see

Repeat Chorus

You have the right to feel the joy and the tears

But a moment can't carry the weight of the tender loving years

You can't take it

You can't make it

You won't try to see the light

Rather throw your hands up and give up without a fight

Repeat Chorus

It's too rough

It's too tough

They complain constantly

Never going the distance or far enough to see

Repeat Chorus

<br />
