It's A Long Way Back Lyrics - Singles - John Anderson

First date first kiss well I never will forget the way you looked that night 

Parked out cross town watchin' the stars fall down 

Girl your hair was soft and brown 

Just before we get too far I'd hear you say 

It's getting late we need to go and it's a long way back 

[ fiddle ] 

Made plans got rings and had us a million dreams where our road might lead 

It wasn't long we had a truck with all of our things boxed up 

Left down in a cloud of dust 

And got movin' improvin' why I can't say 

But suddenly it seems to be such a long way back 

[ guitar ] 

I've tried you've tried and nobody's satisfied is this where it all ends 

We can't be so far down where we can't turn around pick up this love we found 

Just before we get too far I hear you say it's getting late we need to go 

And it's a long way Just before we get too far I hear you say 

It's getting late we need to go and it's a long way back
