As Far As You Could

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
