It Takes So Long

[Verse 1]
I've been sittin' here waitin' for the good times to come
I've been waitin' so long
If they don't hurry up and get to me
I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'm weary 'cause it takes so long

[Verse 2]
There must be a place somewhere for me
Some place I belong
If they don't hurry up and call my name
I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'm weary 'cause it takes so long

[Verse 3]
Hmm, hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm-hmm
If they don't hurry up and call my name
I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'm weary 'cause it takes so long

[Bridge]
Hear that freight train whistle blow
She's comin' 'round the bend
You can always see the smoke
Way before she's comin' in

[Verse 4]
Some folks have got a lot of time to wait
My time is runnin' on
And if my train don't come on in
I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'm weary 'cause it takes so long, well yes
Still a-waitin' 'cause it takes so long
