Long Way Down

(album: We Were Cowboys - 2022)

Sitting in the seat of my old Olds
Pretty city lights down far below
Sitting there soaking up all of the heat of the fire
You slide a little closer and whisper in my ear
Never even get around to opening them beers
Being here with you girl, nothing could get me no higher

It's a long way down
Baby, hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
It's a long, long way down
Yeah, I'm scared I'm gonna fall without your loving arms around

Well, love for you is such a natural thing
You were born to spread those angel wings
Every time you touch me, swear I feel light as a feather
But it seems like every other corner I turn
There's another busted heart that's crashed and burned
Baby, just remember every time you take me to heaven

It's a long way down
Baby, hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
It's a long, long way down
And I'm scared I'm gonna fall without your loving arms around

Tell me once again how high we're gonna go
Take me far away from the world below
We could be the few that make it all the way together
'Cause I could start this car and drive back into town
Land us both safe on solid ground
But after tonight, girl, you're gonna have to love me forever

It's a long way down
Hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
It's a long, long way down
And I'm scared I'm gonna fall without your loving arms around

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Mm, yeah
It's a long way down
Yeah, it's a long way
Oh, it's a long way
Oh yeah
Hey, it's a long way
It's a long way, long way down
It's a long, long way
It's a long way down, yeah
Take me higher
Won't you take me higher
Won't you take me, take me, take me higher, oh
