Everlast - Long Time lyrics

She was a hot-blooded women, he never saw it comin' She hit him from the side that's blind She never gave a warning, he woke up in the mornin' Layin' there next to his pride He got a little crazy when she had a little baby Cause it filled him with a fatherly pride But a couple years later when their love started fadin' He hurt so bad he nearly died It's been a long time, since I was faithful It's been a long time, since I was grateful It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye It's been a long time, since I was grateful She's a mother with a daughter, sittin' by the water Cause it's better for her baby to breathe She got a man that's in prison cause he didn't wanna listen Now he's sittin' waitin' on a reprieve And she loves her lil' baby but she get a lil' crazy Cause it's harder than she ever conceived He left her on her own, but she's doin' it alone Cause she loves him like he wouldn't believe It's been a long time, since I was faithful It's been a long time, since I was grateful It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye It's been a long time, since I was grateful He's a friend and a lover, husband and a brother He's always been a prodigal son He gets a lot of drama when he go to see his momma Cause he curses like a son of a gun He's beggin' to his lady, let him see his baby He swears that she's the only one He's got a heart full of sorrow, he's livin' for tomorrow And he's sorry for the damage he's done It's been a long time, since I was faithful It's been a long time, since I was grateful It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye It's been a long time, since I was grateful It's been a long time, since I was faithful It's been a long time, since I was grateful It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye It's been a long time, since I was grateful
