Sittin' in the seat of my old Olds
|
Pretty city lights down far below
|
Sittin' there soakin' up all of the heat of the fire
|
You slide a little closer and whisper in my ear
|
Never even get around to openin' those beers
|
Bein' here with you girl, nothing could get me no higher
|
|
(Chorus:)
|
It's a long way down
|
Baby, hold on to me
|
Never let me touch the ground
|
It's a long way down
|
Scared i'm gonna fall without your lovin' 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
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
So, 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
|
|
'Cause it's a long way down
|
Baby, hold on to me
|
Never let me touch the ground
|
Yeah it's a long, long way down
|
Scared I'm gonna fall without your lovin' arms around
|
Yeah yeah yeah...
|
|
Yeah yeah, take me higher
|
Take me higher
|
Take me higher, yeah...
|
