Tim Lynch Band - Long Way Down Lyrics

Long Way Down

Written by Tim Lynch

My dad and my uncle too
They sat me right down
And said Boy, what you gonna do
It was on a shady river bank
My eyes still swollen from the whiskey and the dank
And it's a long way down

Got caught in a midnight summer dream
Doing 95, feeling 17
I lost my self out there
Took a look around and it was like nobody cared
That it's a long way down

And you know I'm headed there
Yea it's a long way down
When you don't even care
I was born with a shotgun in my hand
Crazy motherf*cker like me, I never gave a damn
Some folks just don't understand
What it means in this world to be poor
But be a happy man
And it's a long way down
