Lyrics
Come a Long Way by Paul Shlien 4/14/2004
Tie Your Shoes, Tie Your Tie, Start Your Car
did you ever think that you'd get this far
Came a Long Way
Not the wrong way
So you think you've got to get out of this place
So you think you've got to get out of the race
Bb/Eb F Bb/D Eb // Bb/Eb F Bb/D Eb
Reconsider what your thinking right now
You think a change is the potion your looking for
Every Man finds a way to get through it some how
You've come a long long way (repeat 3 times)
Eb F/C G
What a day its your way seeing ahead all the time
It's OK when you say you gotta get a new line
Come A Long way
Not the wrong way
So you think your at peace with all you've done
and you see that you really are the fortunate one
Bb/Eb F Bb/D //
Visions Clear and you know you'll never fall
Cause you see in the end you've got it all
Look around and you've found your still here.
You've come a long long way (repeat 3 times)
