Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's been such a long time

I think I should be goin', yeah

And time doesn't wait for me

It keeps on rollin'

[Verse 2]

Sail on, on a distant highway, yeah

I've got to keep on chasin' a dream

I've gotta be on my way

Wish there was something I could say

[Chorus]

(Well I'm takin' my time) I'm just movin' on

You'll forget about me after I've been gone (And I take what I find)

I don't want no more (Ooh)

It's just outside of your front door

[Chorus]

Oh, yeah, yeah

It's been such a long time

It's been such a long time, oh

Woo

[Verse 3]

Well, I get so lonely when I am without you

But in my mind, deep in my mind

I can't forget about you

[Verse 4]

Good times and faces that remind me, yeah

I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it all behind me

You're comin' back to find me

[Chorus]

(Well, I'm takin' my time) I'm just movin' on

You'll forget about me after I've been gone (And I take what I find)

I don't want no more (Ooh)

It's just outside of your front door

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's been such a long time

It's been such a long time

[Bridge]

Yeah!

[Verse 5]

It's been such a long time

I think I should be goin', yeah

And time doesn't wait for me

It keeps on rollin'

[Verse 6]

There's a long road

I've gotta stay in time with, yeah

I've got to keep on chasin' that dream, though I may never find it

I'm always just behind it

[Chorus]

(Well, I'm takin' my time, ooh) I'm just movin' along

(Takin' my time, ooh) Oh, I'm just movin' along

(Takin' my time, ooh) Oh, I'm just takin' my time

(Takin' my time, ooh) Yeah

[Chorus]

Takin' my time, ooh (Oh, you know I wanna get on home)

Takin' my time, ooh (Downtown, nonstop, oh, hoo)

Takin' my time, ooh (I'm just takin' my time, oh)

Takin' my time, ooh (Oh, just takin' my time, oh)

Takin' my time, ooh

Takin' my time, ooh (Just outside of, it's just outside of your front door)

Takin' my time
