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.
So long, go on and do your best,
Let all friends have whiskey on it?s breath,
The world may not be shaking yet
but you might prove them wrong,
Even long shots make it
So go then, out into history,
And show them how easy it can be,
=You might not believe it yet
but pretty soon you?ll see,
=Even long shots make it,
Just don?t come home too soon,
Just don?t come home too soon,
And I don?t care what people say,
We can laugh it all away,
But if I have a dream at all
for once you won?t be on that stupid plane
And the world may not be shaking yet,
But you might prove them wrong,
Even long shots make it
Just don?t come home too soon,
Just don?t come home too soon,
I don?t care what people say
(just don?t come home too soon)
We?re gonna laugh it all the way
(just don?t come home too soon)
I don?t care what people say
(just don?t come home too soon)
We?re gonna laugh it all the way
(just don?t come home too soon)
I don?t care what people say
(just don?t come home too soon)
We?re gonna laugh it all the way
(just don?t come home too soon)
I don?t care what people say
(just don?t come home too soon)
We?re gonna laugh it all the way
(just don?t come home too soon)
