She was a hot blooded women, he never saw it comin
She hit him from the side that´s blind
She never gave a warning, he woke up in the mornin
layin there next to his pride
He got a little crazy when she had a little baby
cause it filled him with a fatherly pride
But a couple years later when their love started fadin
he hurt so bad he nearly died

It´s been a long time, since I was faithful
It´s been a long time, since I was grateful
It´s been a long time, since I could look you in the eye
It´s been a long time, since I was grateful

She´s a mother with a daughter, sittin by the water
cause it´s better for her baby to breathe
She got a man that´s in prison cause he didn´t wanna listen
Now he´s sittin waitin on a reprieve
And she loves her lil´ baby but she get a lil´ crazy
cause it´s harder than she ever conceived
He left her on her own, but she´s doin it alone
cause she loves him like he wouldn´t believe

It´s been a long time, since I was faithful
It´s been a long time, since I was grateful
It´s been a long time, since I could look you in the eye
It´s been a long time, since I was grateful

He´s a friend and a lover, husband and a brother
He´s always been a prodigal son
He gets a lot of drama when he go to see his momma
cause he curses like a son of a gun
He´s beggin to his lady, let him see his baby
He swears that she´s the only one
He´s got a heart full of sorrow, he´s livin for tomorrow
and he´s sorry for the damage he´s done

It´s been a long time, since I was faithful
It´s been a long time, since I was grateful
It´s been a long time, since I could look you in the eye
It´s been a long time, since I was grateful

It´s been a long time, since I was faithful
It´s been a long time, since I was grateful
It´s been a long time, since I could look you in the eye
It´s been a long time, since I was grateful
