Lyrics Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson

Long Long Way

It happens every time I think about the reasons why

I'm sitting here alone at night and not with you.

Heartache takes control and lets me know

just what a fool I was and how you can't erase the things you do.

And sorry just can't mend a broken heart, I've handed you

break apart is what most broken hearts tell you to do.

But I'm long long way from over you

Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue.

They say the time will heal

don't know if I ever will

'cause I'm a long long way from over you.

Now over you does sound like some lost city

people tell me how to find it, somehow I just never do

And maybe it's because I never wanted at all,

of course now I see that I had the best in you.

That clock just runs in circles, days just go on' by

memories hold me closer, no matter how I cry.

I'm still a long long way from over you

Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue.

They say the time will heal

don't know if I ever will

'cause I'm a long long way from over you.

That clock just runs in circles, days just go on' by

memories hold me closer, no matter how I cry.

I'm still a long long way from over you

Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue.

They say the time will heal

don't know if I ever will

'cause I'm a long long way from over you.

C'mon banjo! (Banjo solo)

How 'bout that mandolin in there (Mandolin solo)

All right flat-top (Flap top solo)

How 'bout of little pedal steel guitar (Steel guitar solo)

Little of Bass n' drums now (Bass solo and drums solo)

C'mon everybody!

They say the time will heal

don't know if I ever will

'cause I'm a long long way from over you
