I'm trying to close my eyes, you know
I tried so hard but it just kinda sting
I still remember ol' bitter creek
Had a hand of daisies
Drew 'em out in the sand, would you be with me?
And you said yes
I still remember your daddy's jeep
You'd slide right in there next to me
You weren't very good at a five speed, so I taught you
So, why did you leave?
'Cause it don't make no sense to me
My friends say I'm still a good time
Women still say I can dance
And my daddy's still my best friend
And I still starch my shirts and pants
I still believe in the Word of God
And I'm still chasing all our plans
And my eyes are still that shade of blue
Still got calluses on my hand
Yeah, my hair is still long and shaggy
And I still love to pick guitar
You said you loved everything about me
I guess the moon and back it ain't that far
It ain't that far
Lay and stare at the ceiling a while
Live a pretty rough lifestyle
That you're gone I do just about anything I want to
My buddies love having me around
Hide the pain from the whole damn town
But the truth is and always will be that I miss you
So, why did you leave?
Guess the moon and back is far enough for me
My friends say I'm still a good time
Women still say I can dance
And my daddy's still my best friend
And I still starch my shirts and pants
I still believe in the Word of God
And I'm still chasing all our plans
And my eyes are still that shade of blue
Still got calluses on my hand
Yeah, my hair is still long and shaggy
And I still love to pick guitar
You said you loved everything about me
I guess the moon and back it ain't that far
It ain't that far
It ain't that far
It ain't that far
I guess the moon and back it ain't that far
