Well, i never thought it would turn out this way
i thought i had it made
i was gonna go right to the top
well, that's everybody said
i left a sleepy little town and a pretty girl
and took off down the road
with a new guitar and a happy song
a long time ago
Now i'm crying
wishing i could touch the hands of time
felling your body close to mine
trying to get back to you, that's all i wanna do
i'm dying
wishing i could see your face again
thinking how good things might've been
a long time ago
Well, things looked good a time or two
i made a little noise
rode around in the back of a limousine
with some wild-eyed country boys
but here and there along the way
i lost my part of gold
but it never came close to the one i lost
a long time ago
Now i'm crying
wishing i could touch the hands of time
feeling your body close to mine
trying to get back to you, that's all i wanna do
i'm dying
wishing i could see your face again
thinking how good things might've been
a long time ago
Now i'm dying
wishing i could see your face again
thinking how good things might've been
a long time ago
a long time ago
