long time coming

it’s a long time i’ve been coming

and it’s a long time i still ain’t come

but if i’m gonna get to the promised land

i’ll be walking all life long

i ain’t got time to travel

every single road

but for every piece of gravel

it leads me closer to my home

because the place i now call home

it don’t feel like one no more

everytime i return to it

it don’t feel like it did the time before

it’s a long time i been coming

a long time i been coming

a long time i been coming

and baby i still ain’t come

i lost all my friends and lovers

a long long time ago

and every time i leave

i lose everything i know

maybe i don’t know much

but i got so much to do

and maybe i can’t sit still

‘cause i got too much to do

because the place i now call home

it don’t feel like one no more

everytime i return to it

it don’t feel like it did the time before

it’s a long time i been coming

a long time i been coming

a long time i been coming

and baby i still ain’t come
