Lyrics

45 YEARS ©Earl.C.Webb

I GOT 45 YEARS, MIGHT AS WELL BE LIFE
I LOST MY LIBERTY, AND I LOST MY WIFE
I THOUGHT I WAS PROTECTING, THE ONE THING THAT WAS MINE
GONNA BE A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME

YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT, A BALL AND CHAIN
AND THAT I'LL NEVER GET OUT, OF THESE WALLS AGAIN
GIVES ME SOME SWEET REDEMPTION, THAT LOVING YOU WAS MY ONLY CRIME
GONNA BE A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME

LAST NIGHT I THOUGHT, I COULD HEAR YOU CRY
I DREAMED THAT I GREW WINGS, SO THAT I COULD FLY

GONNA SLIT MY THROAT, WITH A RUSTY NAIL
OR HANG MY SELF WITH ROPE, AND IF THAT SHOULD FAIL
I WANT TO DROWN MYSELF IN WHISKEY, AND SUFFOCATE IN WINE
GONNA BE A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME
SOLO
LAST NIGHT I THOUGHT, I COULD HEAR YOU CRY
I DREAMED THAT I GREW WINGS, SO THAT I COULD FLY

I CAN SEE YOU NOW, LYING ON OUR BED
I'M WONDERING WHAT GOES ON, IN YOUR PRETTY HEAD
AT LEAST YOU'RE OUT THERE BREAKING, SOMEONE ELSES HEART, NOT MINE
GONNA BE A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME
SOLO
BABY ARE YOU OUT THERE BREAKING, SOMEONE ELSES HEART, NOT MINE
GONNA BE A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME
GONNA BE A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME.
