Long Way Back

(Bill Rice/Sharon Rice)
 Sitting in a cafe at the corner of Broad and Grand
 Stirring up old memories and the coffee in my hand
 The waitress stopped and asked me
 Honey, do you know what you want
 I had to stop myself from telling her the truth
 What I really need is another chance with you
 But this temper train I'm on just ran away too fast
 It's a long old, long old, way back to you, baby
 It's a long old, long old, way back
 ♪
 The neon clock is humming showing sign of wear
 I've lost all sense of time since I've been sitting here
 The waitress asked again
 Is there something else you need
 I need to take the hands off that clock above my head
 Reset the time and take back everything I said
 If I could turn around, then I would erase my tracks
 But it's a long old, long old way back, to you baby
 It's a long old, long old way back
 It is a lonely road a fool travels down
 I guess I oughta know 'cause that's where I'm headed now
 And it's a long old, it's a long, way back
 ♪
 Sitting at the cafe just Ruby Lee and me
 I get feeling she's waiting on me to leave
 She stopped askin' hours ago if I know what I want
 Yeah, but it's a long old, long old way back, to you baby
 It's a long old, long old way back
 I miss you darlin'
 It's a long old, way back...
