Standard (EADGBE)

Somewhere after midnight, somewhere before noon

I looked out on the horizon and I saw the risin' moon

I heard a train whistle blowin' in the back of my brain

Said they thought the clouds were coverin', and they expected rain

Chorus

It's been a long time comin', it's been a long time carrying on

If we don’t get ourselves together we're gonna be a long time gone

I am not a warrior,I am not a pacifist

I'm firmly planted in middle America, just trying to do my best

But when an international storm,Threatens my home or family

There's nothin' in this life that will stop me, from defending my liberty

Chorus
