To Be Good Takes a Long Time

One day, then another One step at a time The battle's never over The Devil's so close behind Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry Cry each time I fall To be good takes a long time But to be bad no time at all I learned it before, now I'm learning again Before you can walk you must crawl To be good takes a long time But to be bad no time at all Fine-sounding intentions Pave the road to hell I walked out my front door And after that I can't tell Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry Cry each time I fall To be good takes a long time To be bad no time at all --- To Be Good Takes a Long Time - Paul Kelly
