Long Long Time to Get Old

Ian Tyson

The eagle's flyin' tomorrow
Mosquito bitin' me today
I ride the bus to Toronto
Highway Two, all the way
I take a walk along Yonge Street

Good times are bought and sold
Remember this, children
If the good Lord's willin'
There's a long, long time to get old

(Uh huh)

I aim to bike to the hometown
My liquor store burned down
My old girlfriend a-ridin'
Way on the east end of town
I heard the laughter when she passed me

Then I knew I'd been told
She said remember this, children
If the good Lord's willin'
There's a long, long time to get old

Been through some lean times, mama
I watched a fat friend go
Seen a wreck on this highway
Oh, you be drivin' home slow

So, lay some truth on you, young ones
Give 'em something to hold
Because remember this, children
If the good Lord's willin'
There's a long, long time to get old

(Well all right...)

Well, she sings you a story
You can tell her song
Layin' down by the river
Oh, summer slippin' along

With her eyes closed dreamin'
Sun shines some bold
Remember this, children
If the good Lord's willin'
There's a long, long time to get old

The eagle's flyin' tomorrow
Mosquito bitin' me today
I ride the bus to Toronto
Highway Two, all the way
I take a walk along Yonge Street

Good times are bought and sold
Remember this, children
If the good Lord's willin'
There's a long, long time to get old

Remember this, children
If the good Lord's willin'
There's a long, long time to get old
