"The Long Goodbye" lyrics

I don't know where we're going next
And I couldn't tell you where we've been
We're always stuck in the middle
Chasing that sunset
That I know we're never gonna catch

In every place, all the faces look the same
Beautiful strangers singing back to me
We'll laugh and we'll cry
And before the night is done
We'll raise a glass for the loved ones we lost

And I know that it hurts and we're barely getting by
But I swear that it's worth it
To wring out every bitter drop of life
From the day we were born
Till the day that we die
It's all just a long goodbye

When I was young, I wanted to be a cowboy
Rough and tumble, roaming town to town with the boys
But now I'm in a gang
Got my posse in the van
Ride or die every night
Rock and rolling with my friends

In every place, all the faces look the same
Beautiful strangers singing back to me
We'll laugh and we'll cry
And before the night is done
We'll raise a glass for the loved ones we lost

And I know that it hurts and we're barely getting by
But I swear that it's worth it
To wring out every bitter drop of life
From the day we were born
Till the day that we die
It's all just a long goodbye

Still just as broke as the day that I was born
But I lay down feeling wealthy every night
My wallet might be slim
But my memories are filthy rich
And only one's coming with me when I die

In every place, all the faces look the same
Beautiful strangers singing back to me
We'll laugh and we'll cry
And before the night is done
We'll raise a glass for all the loved ones we lost

And I know that it hurts and we're barely getting by
But I promise you, it's worth it
To wring out every bitter drop of life
From the day we were born
Till the day we die
It's all just a long goodbye

It's all just a long goodbye
It's all just a long goodbye
