Duff Mckagan – 10 Years lyrics

(Guitar intro)

Let's celebrate
Yeah-ah-yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh
Let's celebrate
Yeah

It's been a long time
Since I've seen you baby
But then your call
Came across my telephone
You said old friends
Are meeting
Will you come up
Maybe
I said I'd tried to make it
You left me talkin' to a tone
Yeah

Ten years didn't seem that long
Has it been that long
Baby
Has it been that long
Since I've gone

Many days and nights
Have passed
Since I've seen you
Mama
So many things
Have passed
A-our eyes
A rings has come and gone
From my finger, baby
I've stumbled
Fallen down
Yes, I've even cried

It's been ten years
Since I've seen you
Baby
Since I've promised
You the moon
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's been that long
Since I've whispered
Sweet in your ear
Let's celebrate now
That we're home

It's been a long time since
I've seen you

Yeah, yeah

You're a memory
(You're a memory)
From the past
(From the past)
That'll always last
(You'll always last)
But life goes on
(Life goes on)
Oh, it's been
So long
(So long)
Oh, it's been
So long
(So long)
Ten years don't seem
Don't seem that long
Ten years don't seem t
That long
(Ten, ten, ten
Ten years)

I think about the past
It's gone away to fast
I'm still
The same human being
Yeah-ah-yeah
I've traveled many miles
And I'm just wild
I've learned about the
Things I* say
Ah
Yeah-ah

It's been ten years
Since I've seen you
Baby
Since I've promised
You the moon
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's been that long
Since I've whispered
Sweet in your ear
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's celebrate now
That we're home
It's been ten years
Since I've seen you
Baby
Since I've promised
You the moon
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's been that long
Since I've whispered
Sweet in your ear

Maybe I'll call you
Or just sing a* song

*As with the "I", Duff's slurred pronounciation makes this an either or of "this" or "a". Pronouncce is as "ah" but with a slight "th" at the beginning, which is rolled with the "sing-k" before it, as his Washington accent make his "ing"'s end with a slight "k".
*This could possibly be you but due to his naturally slurred pronounciation many proper nouns on the album became ambiguous. Pronounced as "ah" with a very slight "yuh" at the beginning.
