We lived in a time and a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old
Playin' cards 'till the sun came up and rollin' dice
Down to the club and listen to the blues all night
Girls down on the corner got lonely now and then
We'd never be that free again
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long, long time
Workin' just enough to pay the rent
Money got made, baby, money got spent
Sleeping when we had nothin' left to do
Under the boardwalk and up on the roof
We never quite fit baby, we never played the game
Came out explodin' like a runaway train
Up all night talkin' 'bout dreams of better days
Ain't it funny how some things don't change
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long, long time
(Guitar Solo) (x2)
We lived in a time and a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long, long time
