Acoustic Cover of Long May You Run

“Long May You Run” is written by Neil Young. The song came alive for me when I heard Emmylou Harris and her band perform it. Now in her seventies, Emmylou is still beautiful and sings like an angel, as attested to in the video I’ve included.

After hearing Miss Harris’ version of the song, I began listening to many of her other reels on YouTube. She is a consummate, unique performer, not to mention beautiful. Emmylou’s music has remained consistently excellent throughout her forty-year career. Willie Nelson is quoted as saying, "There are two types of people in this world...those who love Emmylou and those who have not met her."

Harris has released more than twenty-five albums. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008 and earned a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.

Here’s my cover.

Long May You Run

We've been through some things together? With trunks of memories still to come? We found things to do in stormy weather? Long may you run? Long may you run? Long may you run? Although these changes have come? With your chrome ar Shining in the sun? Long may you won? Well, it was back in Thine River 1962? When I last saw you lie? Rowing down that empty river? On that long decline? Get into the surf on time? Long may you run? Long may you run? Although these changes have come? With your chromite shining in the sun?

Long may you run? Long may you run? Long may you run? Although these changes have come? With your chrome heart shining in the sun? Long may you run? Long may you run?
