I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out 'til the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it, it was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way

Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely,'til I found you
You 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 talking about us, they got nothing else to do
When it all comes down we will still come through
In the long run
Oh, 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
'Cause all the debutantes 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?
We'll 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, we're scared, but we ain't shaking
Kinda bent, but we ain't breaking
In the long run
Oh, I want to tell you, it's a long run
In the long run
In the long run

Gonna find out
In the long... run
