[Verse 1]
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' them beers
Bein' here with you, girl, nothin' 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, long way down (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I'm scared I'm gonna fall without your lovin' arms around

[Verse 2]
Well, love for you is such a natural thing
You werе born to spread those angel wings
Evеry 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]
It's a long way down
Baby, hold on to me, never let me touch the ground (Oh, yeah)
It's a long, long way down
Yeah, I'm scared I'm gonna fall without your lovin' arms around
Oh, yeah
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
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 (Love me forever)

[Chorus]
It's a long way down
Hold on to me, never let me touch the ground (Never let me touch the ground )
It's a long (It's a long), long way down (Long way down, down)
Yeah, I'm scared I'm gonna fall without your lovin' arms around
(Yeah, oh, yeah)

[Outro]
Woah, woah
Mm, yeah
It's a long way down
(It's a long way) Yeah, it's a long way
(It's a long way) Oh, it's a long way
(It's a long way, long way down) Oh, yeah
(It's a long way)
Hey, it's a long way
(It's a long way) It's a long way, long way down (Oh, yeah)
(It's a long way)
(It's a long, long way) It's a long, long way
(It's a long way, long way down) It's a long way down, yeah
(It's a long way)
Take me higher (It's a long way)
Won't you take me higher? (It's a long way)
Won't you take me, take me, take me higher? Oh
