Long Song Comin by Bob Seger Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1974

[Verse 1]
Politician 'bout to make his speech
Signal for attention, please
Then he shuffled his notes
And wiped his sweating brow
I looked at my friend next to me
And we don't dare agree
Before this is over
We'll wish we woulda left right now

[Chorus]
'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like he might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy
We got better things to listen to

[Verse 2]
Lady from a church bizarre
Was smiling from her head to her feet
All the way down to her feet
That she couldn't see
She started speaking her piece
[Bridge]
I said "Stop, Wait a minute, please
Before you start talkin'
I wish you'd please listen to me."

[Chorus]
'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And though some of the things you might say honey will be true
It still sounds like a long song comin'
And baby, listen lady, I got better things to listen to
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like you might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, we got better things to listen to
Say, so it sounds like a long song comin'
And it sounds like some just might be true
Still it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, we got better things to listen to
And buddy, listen buddy, we got better things to listen to
