Anderson John It S A Long Way Back lyrics

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 and

Just before we get too far I`d hear you say
It`s gettin` late, we need to go
And it`s a long way back

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 town 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

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 gettin` late, we need to go
And it`s a long way

Just before we get too far
I here you say
It`s gettin` late, we need to go
And it`s a long way back
