Does your mother tell you things
Long, long when i'm gone
Who you talking to
Is she telling you i'm the one

It's a grave mistake
And i'm wide awake

Drive-in's rained out
Weatherman wet-fingers the sky
He pokes it out, he pulls it in
He don't know why

It's the same mistake
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming
It's well worth the wait

We don't go anywhere
Just on trips
We haven't seen a thing
We still don't know where it is

It's a safe mistake
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming
Well, well it's all the same mistake
Dead to rights and wide awake
I'll drop a caribou
I'll tell on you, i'll tell on you
I'll tell on you

You've got a boatload of nerve
But i would say you've been told
You work me against my friends and you'll get-
You'll get left out in the cold

It's the same mistake
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long long long time running
It's well worth the wait.
