[Verse 1]
I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out 'til the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it, it was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I did some damage
I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely
'Til I found you

[Chorus]
You can go the distance, we'll find out
In the long run (In the long run)
We can handle some resistance if our love
Is a strong one (Is a strong one)

[Pre-Chorus]
People talking about us
They got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down
We will still come through

[Chorus]
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It's a long run
[Verse 2]
You know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better
Do the crazy things that you do
Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby
Couldn't hold a candle to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?

[Chorus 3]
Who is gonna make it? We'll find out
In the long run (In the long run)
I know we can take it if our love
Is a strong one (Is a strong one)

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, we're scared
But we ain't shakin'
Kinda bent
But we ain't breakin'

[Chorus]
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It's a long run, eh, eh-eh
In the long run, ooh, ahh, ehh
In the long run
[Outro]
Gonna find out, ooh fi-fi-fi-find out
Long, long, long, long, long, long, long
Ooh, run-run-run, baby, run-run, baby
Long, long, long, long
