Long Time Coming

Just a boy of seventeen
 Left school to chase a dream
 Hard times - the mills closed down
 No one working in old steel town
 So he practiced till his fingers bled
 It might be a long time - a long time coming
 Joined a band to pay his dues
 Playing hard the three river blues
 Iron city house rocking making the scene
 One way out is his rock 'n' roll dream
 Played all night till he was half dead
 It might be a long time .
 {instrumental}
 Still playing the same old town
 Lots of new faces coming around
 The years roll by and they all know
 The boy's still making that big blue sound
 Holding on to that dream
 Even though it's a long time
 It's a long time, a long time coming
 Gonna be a long time, a long time coming
