We've had long days and rough nights

Looks like love was all used up

We've had long days and rough nights

Tell me baby have you had enough

 

Was a moonlit night at the county jail, down a new path when you lose the trail

Too many drinks and pills at a time, Momma was used Daddy's over the line

Powders and wine, temptation and life

One foot at a time and scars from the knife

 

We've been wasting away for sometime

Lately I've been out of sorts with my mind

We've been wasting away for sometime

Lately I've been out of sorts with my mind

 

We've had long days and rough nights

Looks like love was dead at dawn

We've had long days and rough nights

Time for me to finally move along

 

Oh, siren lights and their blue glare capture my eyes and I'm already there

Too many drinks and pills at a time, well Momma was bruised Daddy's going blind

Powders and wine, temptation and life

One foot at a time and scars from the knife

 

We've been wasting away for sometime

Lately I've been out of sorts with my mind

We've been wasting away for sometime

Lately I've been out of sorts with my mind

 

Well, we've had long days and rough nights

Well, we've had long days and rough nights
