LONG WAY TO YOUR LOVE

    
IT'S A LONG WAY TO HEAVEN,
WHEN YOUR LEAVIN' FROM A BARROOM.
ALL THE WAY FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP.
AND IT'S A LONG WAY TO TEXAS,
WHEN YOUR STUCK OUT ON THE STATE LINE,
WITH AN OKLAHOMA COP.
OUT OF GAS IN THE COUNTRY,
TWENTY MILES FROM NOWHERE.
IS A LONG WAY TO SHOVE.
BUT I NEVER KNEW LONG,
'TIL I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY,
IT'S A LONG WAY TO YOUR LOVE.

HOW DO I GO FROM A TOTAL STRANGER,
TO THE MAN, YOU'RE DREAMIN' OF.
I WOULD SELL MY SOUL TO KNOW YOU BETTER.
IT'S A LONG WAY TO YOUR LOVE.

NOW IT'S A LONG WAY TO RENO,
FROM A LITTLE WEDDING CHAPPEL.
IT'S A LONG WAY FROM A BED TO A RING.
FROM A HOLLER IN THE MOUNTAINS,
TO THE GRAND OL' OPRY,
IT'S A LONG WAY TO SING.
ONCE MY HEART WAS MADE OF STONE,
NOW SHE HAS GOT IT BEATING,
LIKE THE HEART OF A DOVE.
NO ONE SAID A WORD,
NOW THEY ALL SAY I TOLD YOU.
IT'S A LONG WAY TO HER LOVE.

HOW DO I GO FROM A TOTAL STRANGER,
TO THE MAN, YOU'RE DREAMIN' OF.
I WOULD SELL MY SOUL TO KNOW YOU BETTER.
IT'S A LONG WAY TO YOUR LOVE.
