Always Such A Long Way To Go

The keys were in the kitchen,
Next to the microwave...
Except the keys to that old Ford Explorer.
He'd emptied out his closet,
And emptied out his heart...
The truth is, he don't live there, anymore.
He loved her in the morning,
But love was not enough.
She wanted more of him than he could give.
Come this time tomorrow,
He'll be in another town,
Finally he'll be learning how to live.

To get from lost to love,
It only takes a minute,
The journey starts with just one step, you know.
To get from love to lost,
Takes less time than that...
And there's always such a long way to go.

The kids were at her mother's.
She looked him in the eye.
"Was it something that I did or didn't do?
I gave you my life,
When I became your wife.
I've never loved another man like you."
Pieces of the past
Were surfacing again.
They'd gone too far to go back and pretend.
He'd finally given up.
She'd finally given in...
And both of them were on the losing end.

To get from lost to love,
It only takes a minute,
The journey starts with just one step, you know.
To get from love to lost,
Takes less time than that...
And there's always such a long way to go.
There's always such a long way to go.
