Long Way To Go Lyrics by Dwight Yoakam

3 Pears

0

Dreamin' is only dreamin'
Till dreamin' is the only thing that's true

Wishin' is only wishin'
Till my only thoughts' the wish to be with you
I've got a long way to go before I get there
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
Got a lot of miles to roll
And the next few only show
That there's still such a long way to go

Hopin' doesn't feel like hopin'
If I can feel your heart hopin' too

Touchin' Doesn't feel like touchin'
Until feel the next touch from you

I've got a long way to go before I get there
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
Got a lot of miles to roll
And the next few only show
That there's still such a long way to go

Wanting just keeps me wanting
The next and last both keep me wanting you

Waiting just keeps me waiting
Until there's no more waiting left to do

I've got a long way to go before I get there
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
Got a lot of miles to roll
And the next few only show
That there's still such a long way to go
