Long time ago lyrics - The Jayhawks song

Guess I got the best of what was taken
Really what is left is almost gone
I guess you figured out that I was faking
All along

So you take a seat but in the middle
And you don't dare push what you might find
The same old scratch, the same old rhythm
Just a different life

And you can't control
What you used to own

'Cause it was such a long time ago
It was such a long time ago
And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know
It was such a long time ago

All you ever learned was to deliver
Never really knowing what you have
Now you're left with all that water
From a dirty well

But you can't control
What you used to own

'Cause it was such a long time ago
It was such a long time ago
And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know
It was such a long time ago

'Cause it was such a long time ago
It was such a long time ago
And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know
It was such a long time ago
It was such a long time ago
It was such a long time
