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
