“long long time to get old”
by: great speckled bird
off: great speckled bird(1969)
the eagle’s flying tomorrow
mosquito biting me today
i ride the bus to toronto
highway 2 all the way
i take a walk along yonge street,
where good times are bought and sold
remember this children if the good lord’s willing
live a long long time to get old
i aimed back to the hometown
the liquor store burned down
my old girlfriend riding
way on the east end of town
i had to laugh when she passed me
and i knew what they told
she said
remember this children if the good lord’s willing
live a long long time to get old
get to some lean times momma
watch a fat friend go
see the wreck on the highway
you’ll be driving home slow
so lay some some truth on your young ones
give them something to hold
because the women and children
if the good lord’s willing
live a long long time to get old
alright
well she sings you a story
and you can tell her song
laying down by the river
oh summer’s slipping along
with her eyes closed dreaming
sun shines some more
remember this children if the good lord’s willing
live a long long time to get old
the eagle’s flying tomorrow
mosquito biting me today
I ride the bus to Toronto
highway 2 all the way
take a walk along Yonge Street,
where good times are bought and sold
remember this children if the good lord’s willing
live a long long time to get old
remember this children if the good lord’s willing
live a long long time to get old
