The Long Run

Written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey

Performed by The Eagles

I used to hurry a lot
I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out 'til 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 'til I found you

You can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run
(In the long run)
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one
(Is a strong one)

People talkin' about us
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 débutants 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
(In the long run)
I know we can take it
If our love is a strong one
(Is a strong one)

We were 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

Ay-ay
In the long run
Ooh, uh, ay
In the long run

Gonna find out
Ooh fi-fi-fi-nd out

Long, long, long, long
Long, long, long

Ooh, run, run, run, baby
Run, run, baby

Long, long, long, long

Ooh, run, baby
