Lyrics:

1989
Gary Scruggs, Don Schlitz

I'm gonna write you a letter, Call you on the phone
Gonna send you flowers, sing you a song
I'm gonna get to you, just you wait and see
And even if you won't say yes right now
I'll bide my time 'cause someday some how
I'm gonna get to you the way you get to me
You call me crazy I don't care
The odds are bad but the chance is there

A long shot of love is better than no shot
Right now that's all I've got to get to you
So I gotta belive
A long shot at love is better than no shot
My heart won't let me stop 'till I get to you
The way you get to me

Gonna throw a littl salt, Gonna knock on wood
Gonna say a little prayer that my luck runs good
I'm gonna get to you, I hope I get to stay
And even if you break my heart in two
I'm going for broke that's all I can do
I'm gonna get to you before you get away
You can call me crazy, I don't mind
The adds are bad but I've go time

A long shot of love is better than no shot
Right now that's all I've got to get to you
So I gotta belive
A long shot at love is better than no shot
My heart won't let me stop 'till I get to you
The way you get to me

A long shot of love is better than no shot
Right now that's all I've got to get to you
So I gotta belive
A long shot at love is better than no shot
My heart won't let me stop 'till I get to you
The way you get to me
Long shot
