American Aquarium - The Long Haul
They say you ain't been the same
Since you laid that bottle down
The songs they ain't got no soul
The band's done lost its sound
Get your head out of the clouds, boy
Pretty soon you’ll realize that
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do
For a dream is let it die
★ Chorus ★
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kind of guy
That's gonna cut and run
So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Buddy, I'm in it for the long haul
★ Verse 2 ★
See the hardest part
Of getting sober
Is learning a drinking buddy
Ain't the same thing as a friend
Just like the hardest part
Of starting over
Is admitting to yourself
That something has come to an end
★ Chorus ★
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the work's done
I ain't ever been the kind of guy
That's gonna cut and run
So I'll pick myself up
Every time I fall
Baby, I'm in it for the long haul
★ Verse 3 ★
I am solid as a Redwood
She's standing by my side
Got the patience of a sunset
Her last nerves are my why
So, last Sunday after supper
I ask her why she stays
She said I ain't gonna be just another song
About walking away
★ Chorus ★
Because, I'm in it for the long haul
I'm here until the works done
I ain't ever been the kind of gal
That's gonna cut and run
So we'll pick ourselves up
Every time we fall
Honey, I'm in it for the long haul
Yes I'm in it for the long haul

Biography
Arriving a year later, their fourth record, Small Town Hymns, further established their penchant for gritty, Springsteen -ian anthems. 2012 proved to be a banner year for American Aquarium with the release of both their first concert album Live in Raleigh and their fifth (and most critically acclaimed) studio album, the Jason Isbell -produced Burn.Flicker.Die. Originally intended to be the group’s swan song, the album instead ushered in a very successful period. Reinvigorated, they collaborated with producer Brad Cook (Megafaun ) on their more alt-rock-inspired 2015 follow-up Wolves. A concert album, Live at Terminal West, appeared at the end of the year, documenting a show in Atlanta. About a year later, Barham released a stark, reflective solo album titled Rockingham, earning positive reviews for it. The band continued to play out, and told fans they’d be recording during 2017, but early in the year, Barham announced that the lineup had dissolved, and that after a solo tour, he would begin recording sessions with a different lineup of American Aquarium.
