So Long Wrong

(album: The New Age - 1973)

Baby, was a time that you seen a man crawl
From being so long wrong
I myself haven't felt the same
You know it hasn't been long

I rent a Pinto coming over here
And it won't do you no good
If the band that you been with is robbed
Ain't gonna treat you like it should

It change your ways
You're the only one that paid

Many cold nights been spent on the road
Knowing not what to do
Every time that I had to go
Hoped that you'll be true

Back from the highway just cleaning my hair
You know I'm as ragged as can be
Ragged as I've ever been for someone
Looking for a place to be

It change your ways
You're the only one that paid

Every old dog got to have a day
Surely mine is coming
I'm tired of the funning around
Tired of the hustle and a-bumming

Give me what I need, girl
You know I got to have it
There ain't nothing more that I can say
Nothing more to say

It change your ways
You're the only one that paid

Hey, hey
Give me a hard time

Every old dog got to have a day
Surely mine is coming
I'm tired of the funning around
Tired of the hustle and a-bumming

Give me what I need, girl
You know I got to have it
There ain't nothing more that I can say
Nothing more to say

It change your ways
You're the only one that paid

Gimme time and a place to be
A life of love and trust
I need a life for you and me
You know that it's a must

Girl, I like is the groove when you move it
The love you give comes back to you, naturally, naturally
I got to change our ways, baby
And live our lives so naturally, whoa, naturally

Hey, hey
Whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa

(Boogie, boogie)
