It's been a long time since rock 'n' roll
It's been a long time since the Beatles rolled
Carry me back, carry me back, carry me back
Baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

It's been a long time since the Who got clout
I gave them a tease and for nothing, no doubt
Carry me back, carry me back, carry me back
Baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

It's been so long since we worked at night
When the King George's just came right
Open your arms, open your arms, open your arms
Baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
