A Long Time Ago

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
