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' those beers
Bein' here with you girl, nothing 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 way down
Scared i'm gonna fall without your lovin' arms around

Well, love for you is such a natural thing
You were born to spread those angel wings
Every 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

Repeat chorus

So, 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

'cause it's a long way down
Baby, hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
Yeah it's a long, long way down
Scared i'm gonna fall without your lovin' arms around
Yeah yeah yeah. . .

Yeah yeah, take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher, yeah. . .
