Long Haul   Year: 2007 | Run Time: 4:49

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

played this song on the first guitar
first i ever bought in this world
i put the thing in the closet in favor of more expensive girls
wrote a hundred songs the very first year
another twenty five or so in the fall
i figured by that time i'd be in it for the long haul

first there was the subject then there was the verb
object of my affections was so invisible

they're just words who cares hey
nobody's listening much anyway
they're just words ok hey
nobody's listening much anyway

God bless eddie may the good Lord reward you
fader dominator down in decatur georgia
plied me with cash and whiskey and before you knew it
made me some records learned how to sing
critics always say the nicest thing
they handed me a deal and a solitary silver bullet

first there was the subject then there was the verb
object of my affections was so obscure

we're all drinking at this bar where every heart is bruised
God knows what we're running from or where we're running to
we're all drinking at this bar where every heart is blue
here's one for you baby my God you're beautiful

drove my car out to the levee
to listen to the hurricane
stand out there and be embraced by the rain
tired of looking at my sorry life
tired of waiting for my death
tired of whatever's breathing down my neck

first there was the subject then there was the verb
object of my affections flown like a bird

Appeared On…
