I used to hurry a lot  I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of day
Oh  that didn't get it
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh  I did some damage  I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely   till I found you
You can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run
the long run
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one a strong one
People talkin' about is
They got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down we will
Still come through
In the long run
Ooh  I want to tell you  it's a long run
You know I don't understand why you don't
Treat yourself better
Do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in Houston  baby
Couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for love
Did you do it for money
Did you do it for spite
Did you think you had to  honey
Who is gonna make it
We'll find out in the long run
the long run
I know we can take it
If our love is a strong one
a strong one
Well  we're scared  but we ain't shakin
Kinda bent  but we ain't breakin
In the long run
Ooh  I want to tell you  it's a long run
In the long run
In the long run
