I used to jump over the moon to get to the other side
|
I wish I had a dime for all the times I tried
|
I used to be a one horse show
|
But that was A LONG TIME AGO
|
|
Somebody'd say something wrong; I'd want to take him outside
|
Some girl'd look at me twice; I'd want to make her my bride
|
I used to be a pistol, you know
|
But that was A LONG TIME AGO
|
|
I'd be settin' on ready at the starting line
|
Jumping that gun - trying to beat my own time
|
Back when I knew everything that there was to know
|
That was A LONG TIME AGO
|
|
I used to drive throught the walls; I never drove around
|
You set 'em up, and I'd knock 'em right down
|
But I was riding in a rubber rodeo
|
That was A LONG TIME AGO
|
|
We use to ride all night, and I'd let you off at dawn
|
Then I'd keep on rockin' until the nest one
|
I never shifted down into low
|
But that was A LONG TIME AGO
|
|
Always setting on ready at the starting line
|
Jumping that gun: trying to beat my own time
|
Back when I knew everything that there was to know
|
That was A LONG TIME AGO
|
That was A LONG TIME AGO
|
That was A LONG TIME AGO
|
Long, long long time ago
|
|
[SOLO]
|
|
Always settin' on ready at the starting line
|
Jumping that gun; trying to beat my own time
|
Back when I knew everything that there was to know
|
|
[breakdown]
|
I never told the truth when a lie would do
|
I think I was waiting for someone just like you
|
I'm getting tired of howling at the moon, you know
|
We used to do that stuff:
|
|
Way back A LONG TIME AGO
|
A LONG TIME AGO
|
That was A LONG TIME AGO
|
That was A LONG TIME AGO
|
