Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes - It's Been a Long Time lyrics

(S. Van Zandt) We lived in a time and a world of our own Making 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 'till the sun came up, rollin' dice Down to the club and listen to the blues all night Girls out on the corner get lonely now and then We'd never be that free again It's been a long time since we laughed together It's been a long time since we cried Raise your gla** for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time Workin' just enough to pay the rent Money got made, baby, money got spent Sleeping 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 laughed together It's been a long time since we 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 Making up the rules as we went along Just one coat between us and we never felt cold We were never gonna get old It's been a long time since we laughed together It's been a long time since we cried Raise your gla** for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time Little Jake Music ASCAP
