Western Centuries - The Long Game lyrics

[Verse 1] You say you finally found better days The storm clouds are gone But a world without rain is a river of pain Keep your boots on Louisiana Every tree is callin' your name Gonna float down stream in a ketamine dream It's the long game It's the long game It's the long game [Chorus] Everybody needs room in their hearts For the one bird who wrote the song Forgive and forget, the words live on Born as a vessel with a permanent hole How not to run dry Sail straight with a true eye [Verse 2] The path of least resistance Is a path that's goin' nowhere We all struggle each day Tryin' to make our way til we're all there Hook, line and sinker There's nothin' left holdin' me It was built on lies, so I cut my ties Now I'm home free Now I'm home free I'm home free [Chorus] Everybody needs room in their hearts For the one bird who wrote the song Forgive and forget, the words live on Born as a vessel with a permanent hole How not to run dry Sail straight with a true eye [Verse 3] Hey Mister Jimmy What makes your lavender grow? It takes water and light The love of a fight and a strong show So three cheers for the living A toast to those who are gone Don't let the day slip, time to loosen your grip Before it's all gone Before it's all gone Before it's all gone [Chorus] Everybody needs room in their hearts For the one bird who wrote the song Forgive and forget, the words live on Born as a vessel with a permanent hole How not to run dry Sail straight with a true eye Sail straight with a true eye
