VERSE ONE:
SHE GREW UP BELIEVING LOVE WAS ALL SHE NEEDED
SO SHE MARRIED YOUNG TO A POOR BOY FROM
HER HOME TOWN IN ABILENE
THEY WORKED REAL HARD TO EARN THE POOR MAN’S DOLLAR
HAD TWO KIDS AND ONE ON THE WAY
ANOTHER MOUTH TO FEED
BUT IT DIDN’T TAKE TOO LONG
UNTIL IT WAS TOO HARD 
TO HOLD ON

CHORUS:
SHE HAD
TOO MUCH OF, TOO LITTLE FOR, TOO LONG
STILL SHE WANTS TO DO RIGHT
BE STRONG, HAVE FAITH
EVEN WHEN HER DREAMS ARE NOT IN SIGHT 
AND ONLY LOVE CAN KEEP HER HOLDIN ON
WHEN SHES HAD 
TOO MUCH, OF TOO LITTLE, FOR TOO LONG

VERSE TWO:
NOW SHE KNOWS LIFE IS JUST YA MAKE IT
A LITTLE BIT OLDER AND STILL IN LOVE 
WITH THAT BOY FROM ABILENE
SHE SMILES AND TURNS THE BAD TIMES INTO GOOD
THEY DON’T HAVE A LOT
BUT WHAT THEY’VE GOT IS EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS
AND NOW WHEN TIME GETS HARD 
LOVE GIVES HER THE STRENGTH 
TO HOLD ON

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
NOW WHEN TIMES GET HARD LOVE GIVES HER THE STRENGTH TO HOLD ON

REPEAT CHORUS:

TAG:
TOO LONG

TOO LONG FOR TOO LONG
