As Far as You Could Songtext
von Charles Kelley

It′s why I moved to Nashville, why I almost left
You made me feel alive, but you scared me half to death
Thought I couldn't hit that stage without you runnin′ through my veins
Now I sing the songs I always have, but the meaning's bound to change

'Cause you took me high but you sure as hell brought me down
We said goodbye but I′m gonna see you around
And to tell the truth, I thought I never would
But it′s time I finally put you down for good
'Cause you′ve taken me as far as you could

You gave me the courage the night I met my wife
You helped me make her laugh 'til you helped me make her cry
You started out a friend turned into somethin′ else
Now I like who I am with you sittin' on the shelf


′Cause you took me high but you sure as hell brought me down
We said goodbye but I'm gonna see you around
And to tell the truth, I thought I never would
But it's time I finally put you down for good
′Cause you′ve taken me as far as you could

Oh-oh

You're a part of my story
Good times I won′t forget
I can say I'm glad you′re gone
But can't say I wish we never met

′Cause you took me high but sure as hell brought me down
You put up a good fight but look who's standin' now
Oh, to tell the truth, I thought I never would
But it′s time I finally put you down for good
Had to almost lose it all before I understood
But you′ve taken me as far as you could
