Lyrics

THE LONGER LIST
Words and music by Stephen Amos

I'VE LEARNED A FLAT STONE WORKS A LOT BETTER,
WHEN YOU'RE SKIPPIN' ROCKS ON A LAKE,
AND ALL YOU REALLY NEED IS A NIGHT CRAWLER,
IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR SOME FISHIN' BAIT,
AND IF YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE,
FLOWERS AND CARDS ARE NICE BUT THEY DON'T WORK ALL THE TIME,

CHORUS
YEAH I'M WRITIN' DOWN TWO LISTS OF EVERYTHING I'VE LEARNED,
ROADS I'VE TRAVELLED, FENCES STRADDLED, TELLIN' FAST BALLS FROM CURVES,
SOME LIFE LESSONS CAME EASY,
OTHERS MADE ME CRAZY,
SOME THINGS I SHOULD'VE SEEN COMIN' BUT I MISSED,
THINGS I'VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT'S THE LONGER LIST,
THINGS I'VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT'S THE LONGER LIST,

NOW I KNOW A MAN OUGHT TO TAKE IT EASY WHEN IT COMES TO ALCOHOL,
'CAUSE YOU'LL DO THINGS YOU THINK ARE PLEASIN' THAT LATER MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL,
AND WHEN IT COMES TO RELATIONSHIPS,
IT FEELS GOOD TO RECEIVE BUT YOU'RE BETTER OFF IF YOU GIVE,

CHORUS

NOW YOU'RE STANDIN' AT THE DOOR WITH THAT LOOK I'VE SEEN
BEFORE AND I'M PRAYIN' THAT IT DON'T COME TO THIS,
GIRL DON'T LET US BECOME JUST ONE MORE LESSON LEARNED ON THAT
LONGER LIST,

CHORUS
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN WRITIN' DOWN TWO LISTS...
