Long Way to Go

I met a man in Chicago, we were waiting for a train

He asked where I was goin, I explained

I'm searching for the one thing

That's true and real and rare, and he said

That's a long way to go, unless you're already there

 

I met you down in Brooklyn, a couple a years ago

You asked me how to get to Carnegie Hall, I didn't know

But you don't follow baseball

Well, aren't we a pair

We've got a long was to go, unless we're already there

 

The second row at a Broadway show

A million miles from Ohio

If that's your church, I haven't got a prayer

 

And everywhere I find you, you're headed somewhere else

We got a long way to go, unless we're already there

 

The hottest clubs, the highest heights

The biggest stars, the brightest lights

Sometimes it's hard to see through the glare

 

Now, you might find prince charming

And a fabulous career

But that's a long way to go

Yeah, that's a long way to go

And I'm already there
