Long Long Day

Ooh, it’s been a long, long day
Longer than a country mile
Stronger than a hurricane
Ooh, it’s been a long, long day
This red barn in the field, dusty winds blow 'round it
It stands in its place firm and tall
So safe inside am I that I can see
One hundred prairie miles waving on endlessly
Papa snores again while mama lies awake
Silently wondering why that gray
Cat that she loved up and run away
Ten years ago one dusty day just like today
Long one day here I lay
Under the big windy sky I prayed
Dear Lord make the flickering hands of fate
Finally flip the page to the yellow sun of my coming age
Ooh, it’s been a long, long, long day
Longer than a country mile
Stronger than a hurricane
Ooh, it’s been a long, long day
