Long Game

I didn't take the easy road

Oh, I couldn't find it

So I built one of my own

And I'm gonna ride it

Might work my feet to the bone

But I don't mind it

We all got our own way of growing

Ain't gotta justify it

No, I ain't worried

I'm playing the long game

I am not ashamed

I'm not where I thought I'd be

I'm nothing to acclaim

Not everybody knows my name

I'm playing the long game

Slowly but surely

Maybe someday I'll make it far

Oh, I really would like to

Own a franchise of neighborhood bars

That only I've got the rights to

Won't be fussing 'bout this road I took

Though I have half a mind to

And the other half will take a second look

Don't you know I've got the time to?

No, I ain't worried

I'm playing the long game

I am not ashamed

I'm not where I thought I'd be

I'm nothing to acclaim

Not everybody knows my name

I'm playing the long game

Slowly but surely

I ain't worried

I'm playing the long game

I am not ashamed

I'm not where I thought I'd be

I'm nothing to acclaim

Not everybody knows my name

I'm playing the long game

Slowly but surely

I'm playing the long game

Slowly but surely
