American Aquarium The Long Haul Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say you ain't been the same
Since you laid that bottle down
The songs they ain't got no soul
The band's done lost its sound

Get your head out of the clouds, boy
Pretty soon you'll realize that
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do
For a dream is let it die

[Chorus]
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kind of guy
That's gonna cut and run

So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Buddy, I'm in it for the long haul

[Verse 2]
See the hardest part
Of getting sober
Is learning a drinking buddy
Ain't the same thing as a friend

Just like the hardest part
Of starting over
Is admitting to yourself
That something has come to an end

[Chorus] I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kind of guy
That's gonna cut and run

So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Baby, I'm in it for the long haul

[Verse 3]
I am solid as a Redwood
She's standing by my side
Got the patience of a sunset
Her last nerves are my why

So, last Sunday after supper
I ask her why she stays
She said I ain't gonna be just another song
About walking away

[Chorus]
Because, I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the works done
I ain't ever been the kind of gal
That's gonna cut and run

So we'll pick ourselves up
Every time we fall
Honey, I'm in it for the long haul

Yes I'm in it for the long haul
