Trampled By Turtles - Wait So Long lyrics

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 call me in the morning with your troubles Takin' it downtown every night I could never place the stars at night above ya I 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 ever time it happens Laugh it up honey it ain't that bad Any afterthought rose to recognition Like every other coffin that I had And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca Fall to your knees and you pray to the lord Then you take up hope at the politicians Nothing happens in this burnt out 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 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've learned But it's better than your fire-borne fornication And all the dirty money that you earn You wait so long You wait so long You wait so long You wait so long
