"It's A Long Way Back" lyrics - 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 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
