Too Wild Too Long

(album: Too Wild Too Long - 1987)

You could have knocked me over when you walked in here tonight
I thought by now you'd be somebody's wife
It sure brings back some memories and, Lord, we've made a few
But I'm not back in town to stay, I'm just passing through

The years have hardly touched you and times been on your side
You always looked so good this time at night
But I still got this problem with just four little walls
And just one look should tell you that I haven't changed at all

I've been running too wild, too long
There's still a place inside my heart where no one's ever gone
You'd be a fool to love me and I'd only do you wrong
Too wild, too long

Sometimes I miss a family, sometimes miss a plane
Sometimes I just don't show up at all and miss out on everything
Girl, if I ain't here tomorrow then take care of yourself
By now you know the way I am it's something I can't help

I've been running too wild, too long
There's still a place inside my heart where no one's ever gone
You'd be a fool to love me, I'd only do you wrong
Too wild, too long
I've been running too wild, too long, too wild, too long
