Ian & Sylvia — Long Long Time to Get Old

The eagle's flyin' tomorrow Mosquito bitin' me today I ride the bus to Toronto Highway Two, all the way I take a walk along Yonge Street Good times are bought and sold Remember this, children If the good Lord's willin' There's a long, long time to get old (Uh huh) I aim to bike to the hometown My liquor store burned down My old girlfriend a-ridin' Way on the east end of town I heard the laughter when she passed me Then I knew I'd been told She said remember this, children If the good Lord's willin' There's a long, long time to get old Been through some lean times, mama I watched a fat friend go Seen a wreck on this highway Oh, you be drivin' home slow So, lay some truth on you, young ones Give 'em something to hold Because remember this, children If the good Lord's willin' There's a long, long time to get old (Well all right...) Well, she sings you a story You can tell her song Layin' down by the river Oh, summer slippin' along With her eyes closed dreamin' Sun shines some bold Remember this, children If the good Lord's willin' There's a long, long time to get old The eagle's flyin' tomorrow Mosquito bitin' me today I ride the bus to Toronto Highway Two, all the way I take a walk along Yonge Street Good times are bought and sold Remember this, children If the good Lord's willin' There's a long, long time to get old Remember this, children If the good Lord's willin' There's a long, long time to get old
