Does your mother tell you things? Long, long when I'm gone? Who you talking to? Is she telling you I'm the one? It's a grave mistake and I'm wide awake

Drive-In's rained outWeatherman wet-fingers the skyHe pokes it out, he pulls it inHe don't know whyIt's the same mistake

It's been a long time runningIt's been a long time comingIt's well worth the wait

We don't go anywhere,Just on tripsWe haven't seen a thingWe still don't know where it isIt's a safe mistake

It's been a long time runningIt's been a long time coming

Well, well it's all the same mistakeDead to rights and wide awakeI'll drop a caribou, I'll tell on you,I'll tell on you, I'll tell on you.

You've got a boat-load o'nerveBut I would say you've been toldYou work me against my friendsAnd you'll get left out in the coldIt's the same mistake

It's been a long time runningIt's been a long time comingIt's been a long, long, long time runningIt's well worth the wait
