Wait So Long
Trampled by Turtles
I could never pretend that I don't love you
You could never pretend that I'm your man
That's exactly the way that I want it
That's exactly the way that I am

And you call me in the morning with your troubles
Takin' it downtown every night
I could never place the stars at night above ya
I got my hands on the ground
And you know I'm right

You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long

It's a coffee stained earth ever time it happens
Laugh it up honey it ain't that bad
Any afterthought rose to recognition
Like every other coffin that I had
And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca
Fall to your knees and you pray to the lord
Then you take up hope at the politicians
Nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore

You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long

And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train
You know that I help you if I can
But I'm just a raindrop in a river
Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand

And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this
With all the bad habits that I've learned
But it's better than your fire-borne fornication
And all the dirty money that you earn

You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
Write the lyrics for a country song made in 2010, titled "Wait So Long", by artist "Trampled by Turtles".
