It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get back, let me get back,
Let me get back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Ooooh!
It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, to Louisiana.
Woah oo oh oo oh oh
Its been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Waaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Oohhh
It's been a long time since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, open your arms,
Open your arms, baby let my love come in, oh oh, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Ooooh!
Wooh-ooh, yeah!
Rock and roll!
It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get back, let me get back,
Let me get back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
