I'm gonna write you a letter Call you on the phone I'm gonna send you flowers Sing you a song I'm gonna get to you Just you wait and see And even if you won't say yes right now I'll bide my time 'Cause someday, somehow I'm gonna get to you the way you get to me You can call me crazy I don't care The odds are bad But the chance is there A long shot at love is better than no shot Right now, that's all I've got to get to you So I gotta believe A long shot at love Is better than no shot My heart won't let me stop Until I get to you the way you get to me I'm gonna throw a little salt Gonna knock on wood Gonna say a little prayer That my luck runs good I'm gonna get to you I hope I get to stay And even if you break my heart in two I'm going for broke That's all I can do I'm gonna get to you before you get away You can call crazy I don't mind The odds are bad But I've got time A long shot at love is better than no shot Right now, that's all I've got to get to you So I gotta believe A long shot at love Is better than no shot My heart won't let me stop Until I get to you the way you get to me A long shot Is better than no shot Right now, that's all I've got to get to you So I gotta believe A long shot at love Is better than no shot My heart won't let me stop Until I get to you the way you get to me Long shot

I know they say if you love somebody You should set them free But it sure is hard to do It sure is hard to do I know they say if it don't come back again Then it's meant to be (so they say) Those words don't pull me through So I'm still in love with you I spend each day here waiting for a miracle But it's just you and me goin' through the mill Climbin' up a hill This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breakin' a heart No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it All that's happenin' here is a long goodbye Sometimes I ask my heart did we really Give our love a chance (just one more chance) But I know without a doubt We turned it inside out And if we walked away Would it make more sense But it tears me up inside Just to think we still could try How long must we keep running on a carousel Going 'round and 'round and never gettin' anywhere On a wing and prayer This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breakin' a heart No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it All that's happenin' here is a long goodbye Long goodbye (Goodbye) Oh, oh, oh-oh Long goodbye (Goodbye) (Goodbye) Oh, it's a long goodbye, it's a long goodbye

My friends from high school Married their high school boyfriends Moved into houses In the same ZIP codes where their parents live But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow I hit the highway In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling Lived like a gypsy Six strong hands on a steering wheel I've been a long time gone now Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down But I've always found my way somehow By takin' the long way, takin' the long way around Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I met the queen of whatever Drank with the Irish, smoked with the hippies Moved with the shakers Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to No I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow It's been two long years now Since the top of the world came crashing down And I'm gettin' it back on the road now But I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around (the long) Oh, I'll just take my time, I won't lay down (the long) And take long way around Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself I opened my mouth and I heard myself It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself Guess I could've made it easier on myself But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down If you ever want to find me, I can still be found Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around
