Long Time Coming Lyrics by Praying Mantis

Katharsis

2022

[Verse 1]
Get ready, here we come
Put your hands together for the band
Rock steady on the run
I play my guitar like a loaded gun
Back in the summer of '74
Rock came knocking on my door
Me and my bro, we formed a band
We're gettin' ready for the promised land
Yeah, come with me

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna go back, I wanna go home
I wanna be somewhere where I belong
It's too late now

[Chorus]
It's been a long time coming, now we're back on top
Gettin' ready to rock the nation
We're gonna keep on rocking till you drop
Come hell or high water damnation
Now we're back where we belong
Just the band, come along
It's been a long time coming
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay, oh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Pack your bags, and let's go
We're moving on to the next show
New York City, Paris, Milan
We're getting ready to rock Japan
Yeah, come with me

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna go back, I wanna go home
I wanna be somewhere where I belong
It's too late now
We're almost there

[Chorus]
It's been a long time coming, now we're back on top
Gettin' ready to rock the nation
We're gonna keep on rocking till you drop
Come hell or high water damnation
Now we're back where we belong
Just the band, come along
It's been a long time coming
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay, oh, oh, oh

[Refrain]
Long time coming

[Chorus]
It's been a long time coming, now we're back on top
Gettin' ready to rock the nation
We're gonna keep on rocking till you drop
Come hell or high water damnation
Now we're back where we belong
Just the band, come along
It's been a long time coming
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
It's been a long time coming
A long time coming
It's been a long time coming
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay
