Lyrics
So Far To Go:
Verse 1:
Broken clock on the dash read quarter to three, and though it may read wrong it?s twice as long as I?ll ever need. Faded postcards where you?d rather to be, you sing along with the song that carries you on this highway with me.
Chorus:
Well we braved this stormy weather, but we?ve got so far to go, baby I can?t hold on forever, is it yes or is it no? Wherever we fall we fall together, I?ll carry you up this dusty road, but baby I can?t hold on forever, is it yes or is it no?
Verse 2:
Well take my hopes and dreams, and tie ?em up at the seams, wrap them up and send them someplace somewhere outside of your reach. Every sun that rises could be Sundays with me, it?s not for free girl, it?s me girl that you see.
Chorus:
Well we braved this stormy weather, but we?ve got so far to go, baby I can?t hold on forever, is it yes or is it no? Wherever we fall we fall together, I?ll carry you up this dusty road, but baby I can?t hold on forever, is it yes or is it no?
