Song lyrics

Long live the king

The young grows old

With his buffalo spring


I got a Tupelo and we're ready to go

We gonna hit it all night with the rock and a roll

And if I'm feelin' uptight, gonna leave it alone

We're gonna board up on the flight to the great unknown, well


That's all I'm saying now

Hear what I'm playing, yes

High on a light from above

You're somebody special, well

Someone to wrestle now

Take from the lake of your love


Long after we have been gone from this song, well the

Afterlife sings one for me

Lost in the length of those warm ass horizons, the

Afterlife knows where I'll be


We gonna get it up for the brotherly cup

And when I bring it on down with the Jamison Brown

Well, on a cold, cold night round a Baton Rouge

We gonna make it alright with Iggy the Stooge, well


Pull on my lever, it's

My guilty pleasure, yes

Born to live life on the run

Take from this river, and

Give to the ocean, yeah

They gave us more than enough


Long after we have been gone from this song, well the

Afterlife sings one for me

Lost in the length of those warm ass horizons, the

Afterlife knows where I'll be


Long after we have been gone from this song, well the

Afterlife sings one for me

Lost in the length of those warm ass horizons, the

Afterlife knows where I'll be


Long after we have been gone from this song

There will be something to see

My mother said there will be some surprises, the

Afterlife shows them to me
