The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I first met you I was ready to
Give up this life of drinking and bumming
But all my promises
Are a long time a'coming
When I look at us, sitting on this bus
We're still pulling, we're still struggling
Waiting for that lucky break
But it's a long time a'coming
Up in the blue beyond, above the great divide
Everything can't be wrong
Somebody must be getting it right
Well I'm still me, and I'll never be
A slave to any man or woman
Someday you'll be proud of me
But it?a long time coming
A long time a'coming
A long time a'coming

When I first met you I was ready to
Give up this life of drinking and bumming
But all my promises
Are a long time a'coming
When I look at us, sitting on this bus
We're still pulling, we're still struggling
Waiting for that lucky break
But it's a long time a'coming
Up in the blue beyond, above the great divide
Everything can't be wrong
Somebody must be getting it right
Well I'm still me, and I'll never be
A slave to any man or woman
Someday you'll be proud of me
But it?a long time coming
A long time a'coming
A long time a'coming
