Lyrics It's The Long Run - Ashford & Simpson

It's The Long Run

It’s the long run
It’s the finish that counts, baby
It’s the long run
It’s the finish that counts in the end
Repeat Chorus
Some folks walk through life with their eyes closed
Giving up the moment
A little bit of trouble shows
It’s too rough
It’s too tough
They complain constantly
Never going the distance or far enough to see
Repeat Chorus
You have the right to feel the joy and the tears
But a moment can’t carry the weight of the tender loving years
You can’t take it
You can’t make it
You won’t try to see the light
Rather throw your hands up and give up without a fight
Repeat Chorus
It’s too rough
It’s too tough
They complain constantly
Never going the distance or far enough to see
Repeat Chorus
