So Long (Rick Roberts)


Never mind the reason you may never know
Blame it on the season they come and go
Blame in on the weather or something in the wind
Blame it on what ever it might have been
You can say you know what happened
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to
You can say I just say so long

Say it doesn't matter say it's all for fun
Never mind the laughter that doesn't come
Tell yourself to you hate me tell us all your side
Tell your friends I'm crazy if it'll save your pride
You can say you know what happened you can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to
You can say I just say so long so long so long

Call it fact or fiction blame it all on me
Speak of your conviction in destiny
Say it's not important you can swear it's all a game
Call it fame or fortune but it's all the same
You can say you know what happened you can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to you can say I just say so long

Rick Roberts tells:
It was the second single from that album.
When we first turned the album in to our record label, they said it was
missing punch. They waned us to go back into the studio and beef it up.
I wrote this song in the three months between the initial try and
the do over. Jock really shines on this one.
