[Verse 1]
They say you ain't been the same
Since you laid that bottle down
The songs they ain't got no soul
The band's done lost its sound

Get your head out of the clouds, boy
Pretty soon you’ll realize that
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do
For a dream is let it die

[Chorus]
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kind of guy
That's gonna cut and run

So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Buddy, I'm in it for the long haul

[Verse 2]
See the hardest part
Of getting sober
Is learning a drinking buddy
Ain't the same thing as a friend
