Foghat - Long Time Coming lyrics

Just a boy of seventeen Left school to chase a dream Hard times – the mills closed down No one working in old steel town So he practiced 'til his fingers bled It might be a long time – a long time coming Joined a band to pay his dues Playing hard the three river blues Iron city house rocking making the scene One way out is his rock 'n roll dream Played all night 'til he was half dead It might be a long time . . {instrumental} Still playing the same old town Lots of new faces coming around The years roll by and they all know The boy's still making that big blue sound Holding on to that dream Even though it's a long time It's a long time, a long time coming Gonna be a long time, a long time coming
