Lyrics I've Come a Long Way - Wilson Pickett Jr.

I've Come a Long Way

I’ve come a long, long, long, long way, oh yes, I did
Since I found a love, mhm, since I found a love
But wait a minute, there’s one more thing
It was so hard, hard, yeah, oh yeah
But I’ve come a long, such a long, long ways
Let me tell y’all by the stars above
Let me say that one more time, by the stars above
I used to look here and there
Here, there, everywhere
One day, that woman walked into my life, oh yeah
She said, «Don't worry, baby, I’m gon' make everything alright»
Oh, she went on and she smoothed out all the rough roads, uh-huh
With lots of lovin' and secure, oh yes, she did
And she gave me something to live for
I can tell the world, yeah (By the stars above)
I’ve come a long (Long, long) long way (Long way)
Ah (Long), sometime (Long) I’m gonna cry tears of water (Long way)
I came runnin' out (Long), oh yeah (Long), oh (Long way)
