Zac Brown Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm the kind of man that makes it hard to love
I just wanna believe that all this runnin'
Could lead to all this comin' back around
I'm in it for the long haul
Long haul
I'm in it for the long haul
Let's pick up the pieces
Find a way to come back home from all this hurt
I just wanna believe that we still got it
So let's stop all our fighting and make it work
I'm in it for the long haul
Long Haul
Long Haul
These dead ends roads all look the same
But I know our love could lead the way like
Headlights shinin' in the dark
There's nothin' for us in this town
Honey, this time we ain't slowin', down, so
Best we leave our past in the dust
Oh, ho, ho, ho-oh
Long Haul
Long Haul
We finally made it out of this heartbreak town
Nothin' in the world could keep us down
Take my hand, you and me, we're gonna make it out
Tired of bein' broke in this heartache town
We don't wanna live this lonely, I
And I ain't givin' up on us
I'm in it for the long haul
Long Haul
Long Haul
I'm in for the long haul

I love this song! Good story about a man's love for his woman even after hard times. It does have the good old sounds in it. I hear some blues/70's/ old country. This is great music!
