Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes - It's Been A Long Time lyrics

We lived in a time and a world of our own Makin' up the rules as we went along Just one coat between us and we never felt cold We were never gonna get old Playing cards 'til the sun came up, rollin' dice Down in the club and listen to the blues all night Girls, out on the corner got lonely now and then We'd never be that free again It's been a long time since we've laughed together It's been a long time since we've cried Raise your gla** for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time Workin' just enough, girl, to pay the rent Money got made, baby, money got spent Sleepin' when we had nothin' left to do Under the boardwalk and up on the roof We never quite fit, baby, we never played the game Came out explodin' like a runaway train Up all night talkin' about dreams of better days Ain't it funny how some things don't change? It's been a long time since we've laughed together It's been a long time since we've cried Raise your gla** for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time We lived in a time and a world of our own Makin' up the rules as we went along Just one coat between us and we never felt cold Oh, we were never gonna get old It's been a long time since we've laughed together It's been a long time since we've cried Raise your gla** for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time, long time It's been a long time since we've laughed together It's been a long time since we've cried, cried Raise your gla** for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time It's been a long, long time, long time Oh yesterday, raise your gla**, baby Ah, yeah, it's been a long, long, long time Come on, come on, raise your gla**, now I'm in love since so long, since so long Since so long, long time Raise your gla** now Come on, baby
