Ashford & Simpson - It's The Long Run [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Chorus:
It's the long run
It's the finish that counts, baby
It's the long run
It's the finish that counts in the end

Repeat Chorus

Some folks walk through life with their eyes closed
Giving up the moment
A little bit of trouble shows
It's too rough
It's too tough
They complain constantly
Never going the distance or far enough to see

Repeat Chorus

You have the right to feel the joy and the tears
But a moment can't carry the weight of the tender loving years
You can't take it
You can't make it
You won't try to see the light
Rather throw your hands up and give up without a fight

Repeat Chorus

It's too rough
It's too tough
They complain constantly
Never going the distance or far enough to see

Repeat Chorus
