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
Being here with you girl nothin' can get me no higher
It's the long way down
Baby hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
Love for you is such a natural thing
You were born to spread those angel wings
Every time you touch me I swear I feel the light as a feather
But it seems like every other corner I turn
There's another busted heart that's crushed and burned
So baby just remember every time you take me to heaven
It's the long way down
Baby hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
It's the long way down
Scared I'm gonna fall without you loving arms around
Oh,hang on
So tell me once again now how 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 can stop this car and drive back into town
Land us both safe on solid ground
After the night girl you gonna have to love me forever
It's the long way down
Baby hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
It's the long way down
Scared I'm gonna fall without you loving arms around
