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
