I've Come A Long Way

Wilson Pickett


I've come a long long long long way, oh yes I did 
Since I found a love, since I found a love 
But wait a minute, there's one more thing 
It was so hard hard, yeah, oh yeah 
But I've come a long, such a long long way 
Let me tell y'all by the stars above 
Let me say it one more time, by the stars above 

I used to look here & there, here, there, everywhere 
One day that woman walked into my life, oh yeah 
She said "Don't worry baby, I'll make everything all right" 
She went on & she smoothed out all the rough roads, uh huh 
With lots of lovin & secure, oh yes she did 
& she gave me somethin' to live for 
I can tell the world, yeah (by the stars above) 

I've come a long (long) long way (long way) 
Ah sometime I'm gonna cry tears of water 
That came runnin' out, oh yeah
