Played the Game Too Long Full Lyrics

We had it right before it all went wrong Then turned it off by coming on too strong It's too late now, the damage has been done We fooled around We played the game too long We used to rock along and laugh at the rain Now getting stoned is all we do And things just ain't the same We've worn out that song we used to sing The melody has lost its happy ring What we've got is just as good as gone We fooled around and played the game too long We got too hung up on hangin' on Yeah, wound it up until our spring was sprung We did our thing till it was overdone We fooled around and played the game too long We used to rock along and laugh at the rain Now getting stoned is all we do And things just ain't the same We've worn out that song we used to sing The melody has lost its happy ring What we've got is just as good as gone We fooled around and played the game too long
