[Verse 1: Johnathan Rice]
I play the long game
Took my time to get here today
Had some good and bad days
I wouldn't have it any other way

[Verse 2: Johnathan Rice]
Best to start the long game
When you're young and spry
'Fore the big black clouds
Take shape in your mind

[Chorus: Johnathan Rice & Courtney Marie Andrews]
Make yourself free to see how quickly
This good life goes by
Allow yourself to be happy
And I think you'll find

[Verse 3: Johnathan Rice & Courtney Marie Andrews]
Good to play the long game
With you by my side
With my lips pressed to your cheek
And your hand in mine

[Chorus: Johnathan Rice & Courtney Marie Andrews]
Now give your love to me, baby
And I'll give you mine
Let me make you happy
And I swear I'll try
[Verse 4: Johnathan Rice & Courtney Marie Andrews]
And you can play the long game
Long after I'm gone
Think of me, drink in hand
Laughing till the dawn
