Long Long Time

(album: Waylon & Willie - 2017)

[Bones Owens:]
I've been a devil
I've been a ghost
I've seen the world
Saw more than most

[Jelly Roll:]
Lord, please
I'm pleading for my innocence
What doesn't get you in the wash
Will get you in the rinse
I kept it two hundred
Head first, fool plummet
Stood all alone
Knowing that the wolves coming
I had some OG's
That really wasn't OG's
And know some dope fiends
That went to jail and acted like Joel Osteen
I'm back standing
Try me, I'ma backhand 'em
Nashville's bad guy
Baptized in Jack Daniels
Tattooed with nothing
Never had nothing
White trash as a motherfucker
Shout out my cousins
Shout out my brothers and my uncles and my fucking mother
Shout out the fact that we came up out the fucking rubble

[Bones Owens:]
Yeah, I've been waiting
For this day to come
For a long, long time
Yeah, I'm gonna break these chains
And feel the sweet sunshine
Yeah, I've been waiting
For this day to come
For a long, long, long, long time

[Struggle Jennings:]
It's been a long journey
Slow down to hurry
Smoke had my vision blurry
Watching bridges burning
Muddy water, murky
Hallowed ground, sturdy
Long road, curvy
Learn the curves, become worthy
Vision driven, Murphy
Mansion gates, pearly
Leave 'em cold turkey
Stuff 'em like a taxidermy
Good person
Done dirty by the thirsties
Every dog has it's day
Fifty-seven thirties, uh
So scurvy
I could hurt 'em
What it's worth
Born from the womb
From the tomb I was birthed
Freedom proceeded
Had a last and a first
From the mud, covered in dirt
May the best die the worst

[Bones Owens:]
Yeah, I've been waiting
For this day to come
For a long, long time
Yeah, I'm gonna break these chains
And feel the sweet sunshine
Yeah, I've been waiting
For this day to come
For a long, long, long, long time
