I could never pretend that i don't love you

you could never pretend that i'm your man

that's exactly the way that i want it

that's exactly the way that i am

and you'll call me in the mornin with your troubles

takin it downtown every night

i could never place the stars at night above ya

got my hands on the ground and you know i'm right



you wait so long
you wait so long
you wait so long
you wait so long



it's a coffee stained earth every time it happens

lighten up honey it ain't that bad

and the after thought rose to recognition

like every other coffin that i had

then your Buick broke down in *Winnemucca*

you fall to your knees and you pray to the lord

then you take up hope at the politicians

nothing happens in this burnt down town anymore

 

you wait so long
you wait so long
you wait so long
you wait so long



and your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train

you know that I'll help you if i can

but I'm just a raindrop in a river

just a little itty bitty grain of sand

and you know that i'm doomed to repeat this

with all the bad habits that i learned

but its better than your fine earned fornication

and all the dirty money that you earned



you wait so long
you wait so long
you wait so long
you wait so long

you wait so long
you wait so long
you wait so long
you wait so long
