The Long Game by Western Centuries Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say you finally found better days
The storm clouds are gone
But a world without rain is a river of pain
Keep your boots on
Louisiana
Every tree is callin’ your name
Gonna float down stream in a ketamine dream
It’s the long game
It’s the long game
It’s the long game

[Chorus]
Everybody needs room in their hearts
For the one bird who wrote the song
Forgive and forget, the words live on
Born as a vessel with a permanent hole
How not to run dry
Sail straight with a true eye

[Verse 2]
The path of least resistance
Is a path that’s goin’ nowhere
We all struggle each day
Tryin’ to make our way til we’re all there
Hook, line and sinker
There’s nothin’ left holdin’ me
It was built on lies, so I cut my ties
Now I’m home free
Now I’m home free
I’m home free
[Chorus]
Everybody needs room in their hearts
For the one bird who wrote the song
Forgive and forget, the words live on
Born as a vessel with a permanent hole
How not to run dry
Sail straight with a true eye

[Verse 3]
Hey Mister Jimmy
What makes your lavender grow?
It takes water and light
The love of a fight and a strong show
So three cheers for the living
A toast to those who are gone
Don’t let the day slip, time to loosen your grip
Before it’s all gone
Before it’s all gone
Before it’s all gone

[Chorus]
Everybody needs room in their hearts
For the one bird who wrote the song
Forgive and forget, the words live on
Born as a vessel with a permanent hole
How not to run dry
Sail straight with a true eye
Sail straight with a true eye
