Played The Game Too Long (w/ Tanya Tucker) Songtext
von Billy Joe Shaver

We had it right before it all went wrong
Then turned it off by coming on too strong
It′s too late now, the damage has been done
We fooled around
We played the game too long


We used to rock along and laugh at the rain
Now getting stoned is all we do
And things just ain't the same
We′ve worn out that song we used to sing
The melody has lost its happy ring
What we've got is just as good as gone
We fooled around and played the game too long

We got too hung up on hangin' on
Yeah, wound it up until our spring was sprung
We did our thing till it was overdone
We fooled around and played the game too long

We used to rock along and laugh at the rain
Now getting stoned is all we do
And things just ain′t the same
We′ve worn out that song we used to sing
The melody has lost its happy ring
What we've got is just as good as gone
We fooled around and played the game too long
