[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I did some damage

I know it's true

Didn't know I was so lonely

'Til I found you

[Chorus]

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)

[Pre-Chorus]

People talking about us

They got nothin' else to do

When it all comes down

We will still come through

[Chorus]

In the long run

Ooh, I want to tell you

It's a long run

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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?

[Chorus 3]

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)

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, we're scared

But we ain't shakin'

Kinda bent

But we ain't breakin'

[Chorus]

In the long run

Ooh, I want to tell you

It's a long run, eh, eh-eh

In the long run, ooh, ahh, ehh

In the long run

[Outro]

Gonna find out, ooh fi-fi-fi-find out

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

Ooh, run-run-run, baby, run-run, baby

Long, long, long, long
