The Long Haul - American Aquarium

They say you ain’t been the same

Since you laid that bottle down

The songs they ain’t got no soul

The band’s done lost its sound

Get your head out of the clouds, boy

Pretty soon you’ll realize that

Sometimes the kindest thing you can do

For a dream is let it die

I’m in it for the long haul

I’m here until the work’s done

I ain’t ever been the kind of guy

That’s gonna cut and run

So I’ll pick myself up

Every time I fall

Buddy, I’m in it for the long haul

See the hardest part

Of getting sober

Is learning a drinking buddy

Ain’t the same thing as a friend

Just like the hardest part

Of starting over

Is admitting to yourself

That something has come to an end

I’m in it for the long haul

I’m here until the work’s done

I ain’t ever been the kind of guy

That’s gonna cut and run

So I’ll pick myself up

Every time I fall

Baby, I’m in it for the long haul

I am solid as a Redwood

She’s standing by my side

Got the patience of a sunset

Her last nerves are my why

So, last Sunday after supper

I ask her why she stays

She said I ain’t gonna be just another song

About walking away

Because, I’m in it for the long haul

I’m here until the works done

I ain’t ever been the kind of gal

That’s gonna cut and run

So we’ll pick ourselves up

Every time we fall

Honey, I’m in it for the long haul

Yes I’m in it for the long haul
