Long Life Living for a Lover Boy Lyrics by Joshua Slone
I know I don’t say it much
I long for a woman’s touch
Every time, the one I find just turns to dust
But the grass is green, or at least it was
And I do believe in love
I guess it’s just not for us
But now and then I’ll have a friend think that it was
End up crying liquor on a Greyhound bus
Had a long night with a woman somewhere up there in Detroit
Had a long-lived love in high school, left me questionin’ the point
How could somethin’ that’s so grand bring me more pain than it does joy?
Been a long life livin’ for a lover boy
Oh
I’m not in to politics
Somethin’ has a God to give
I get on my phone and get right back off again
People talkin’ ’bout the world instead of changin’ it
And it’s someone from my hometown or way out in Illinois
Gettin’ into right and wrong, or what to build or to destroy
And I love a little drama, but that’s too much to enjoy
Been a long life livin’ for a lover boy
Oh
