| She was a hot blooded woman, he never saw it comin'
|
| She hit em from the side that’s blind.
|
| She never gave a warning, he woke up in the mornin'
|
| Layin' there next to his bride.
|
| He got a little crazy, when she had a little baby,
|
| Cause it filled him with a fatherly pride.
|
| But a couple years later, when their love starting fadin'
|
| He hurt so bad he nearly died.
|
| (Chorus)
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I was faithful,
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I was grateful,
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I could look you in the eye.
|
| It’s been a long time
|
| Since I was grateful…
|
| She’s a mother with a daughter, sittin' by the water,
|
| Because it’s better for her baby to breathe.
|
| She’s gotta man sittin in prison,
|
| Cause he didn’t want to listen,
|
| Now he is sittin' waitin' on a reprieve
|
| But she loves the little baby, but she get a lil crazy,
|
| Cause it’s harder then she ever concieved
|
| He left her all alone, now she’s doin it all alone
|
| Cause she loves him like you wouldn’t believe
|
| (Chorus)
|
| He’s a friend and a lover
|
| Husband and a brother, he’s always been a prodigal son
|
| He get’s a lotta drama when he goes to see his momma
|
| Cause he curses like a son of a gun.
|
| He’s beggin to his lady, let him see his baby,
|
| He swears that she’s the only one
|
| He’s gotta a heart full sorrow, he’s livin for tomorrow,
|
| And he’s sorry for the damage he’s done.
|
| (Chorus)
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I was faithful,
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I was grateful,
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I could look you in the eye.
|
| It’s been a long time
|
| Since I was grateful…
|
| (Chorus)
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I was faithful,
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I was grateful,
|
| It’s been a long time,
|
| Since I could look you in the eye.
|
| It’s been a long time
|
| Since I was grateful…
|
| Grateful… |
