Long Time Until Next Time

IT’S GONNA BE A LONG TIME
UNTIL NEXT TIME
AND IF YOU DON'T MIND
WOULD YOU DRIVE ME HOME?

I'VE BEEN DRINKING ALL NIGHT
SOMEONE WANTS TO FIGHT
WHY CAN'T THEY JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?

I STARTED DRINKING EARLY THIS MORNING
AND CONTINUED INTO THE AFTERNOON
I HAD A CUP OF COFFEE IN THE EVENING
THEN I WAS SLAMMING SHOTS AND HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON

I DIDN’T MEAN TO SPIT ON YOUR GIRLFRIEND
I CAN’T BELIEVE I CALLED HER A ****
I’M SORRY THAT MY FIST MISSED YOUR BROTHER
AND PUNCHED A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR FRONT DOOR

I SWORE THAT IT WOULD BE A LONG TIME
BEFORE I’D EVER DRINK LIKE THAT AGAIN
IT WAS APPARENT THAT I’D BROKEN MY PROMISE
WHEN I FELL DOWN AND BUSTED MY CHIN

IT’S GONNA BE A LONG TIME
UNTIL NEXT TIME
AND IF YOU DON'T MIND
WOULD YOU DRIVE ME HOME?

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

LOOK YONDER HERE COMES THE POLICE
I WONDER WHO THEY’RE LOOKING FOR?
DON’T THEY KNOW I DON’T WANT ANY TROUBLE?
I THINK WE BETTER SLIP OUT THE BACK DOOR

I PROMISE THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME
IF YOU PROMISE JUST TO GET ME OUTTA HERE
I DON’T WANT TO BE ‘ROUND WHEN YOUR FATHER
GETS HOME AND STARTS LOOKIN’ FOR HIS BEER

IT’S GONNA BE A LONG TIME
UNTIL NEXT TIME
AND IF YOU DON'T MIND
WOULD YOU DRIVE ME HOME?

IT’S GONNA BE A LONG TIME
UNTIL NEXT TIME
AND IF YOU DON'T MIND
WOULD YOU DRIVE ME HOME?
