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 

(In the long run) 

We can handle some resistance 

If our love is a strong one (is a strong one) 

People talking about is 

They got nothing 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 

(In the long run) 

I know we can take it 

If our love is a strong one 

(Is a strong one) 

Well, were scared,

But we aint shaking 

Kinda bent, but we aint breaking 

In the long run

Ooh, I want to tell you,

It's a long run 

In the long run 

In the long run
