The Long View

It’s late inside the bar room
And all your friends have gone home
It’s only you and me now
Or so it seems though there’s still quite a crowd

I hear the voice of reason say
Put down your drink and walk away
Every minute you stay longer
You’re not getting any stronger

I’m trying to take the long view
Through the dark and to the light of day
I’m trying to take the long view
But you’re standing in my way

If I was a king I’d give my crown
Just to feel your arms of golden down
And your eyes are saying bring it on
Bring it all the way to kingdom come!

I’m trying to take the long view
I know there’s a price to pay
I’m trying to take the long view
But you’re standing in my way
