Been a long time comin'

And the cards were stacked

It's been a long hard road

To hell and back

Your love meant trouble from the day we met

You won every hand and I lost every bet

Now you'd think that I should've known better

Now you'd think that I would have seen it come

My heart sank when I read that letter

It sank like a stone

It sank like a stone

A cup of cold coffee, yesterday's mail

Hard love like that's always bound to fail

Your love meant trouble from the day we met

If you want your things I put them out

On the front step

Now you'd think that I should've known better

Now you'd think that I would have seen it come

My heart sank when I read that letter

It sank like a stone

It sank like a stone

All alone in my kitchen, All alone in my bed

Some things you can't take back once they've been said

I don't know what this love is for

All I know is baby

I don't want it anymore

Now you'd think that I should've known better

Now you'd think that I would have seen it come

My heart sank when I read that letter

It sank like a stone

It sank like a stone

It's been a long time comin'

And the cards were stacked

It's been a long hard road

To hell and back.
