LONG HISTORY

Time until you're laid to rest
Holding out, another knows best
So afraid / "I'll be over, oh, if I try."
Fall asleep, kiss another goodbye.

You got a long history
of being what you are
Don't have to wonder why
Ain't no river there to cry
Every word you sing
it's the same old song
and it rings so true
'cuz it's what you are.

All the people down in Hell
watch you tend your prison cell
Eye the key -- is it all of your own design?
Weight of the world, or the weight of your mind?

You got a long history
of being what you are
Walk any way you want
you'll never be what you are not.
Wear the velvet chic,
or the feathered tar,
it's gonna show right through
'cuz it's what you are.

You got a long history
of being what you are
Don't have to wonder why
Ain't no river there to cry
Every word you sing
it's the same old song
So better get that clue
and give 'em what you are.
