Long Way (Live from Tulsa)

I wrote this song about my family out in Southeast Oklahoma

A place called Broken Bow

The smartest man that I ever knew never spent a day in college

But he believed that I needed more than a small-town lumber mill knowledge

So, four years at OSU, I'm surprised they let me in

I guess they taught me a thing or two, but nothing like he did

Like how a worn-out Bible can hold a man together

Well, you can love the same girl and have her love you forever, yeah

Some good friends and good songs can make a Friday night

There's still good people out there, we just get hurt sometimes

Everything above ground has a good day

And a little bit of love goes a long, long way

You call your mom more than once in a while, you don't need a reason

Well, I promised him I would, so I do every weekend

He's been gone for three years now, but time goes on, and the world spins 'round

Just like he said it would, life gets hard, but God stays good

And a worn-out Bible can hold a man together

You can love the same girl and have her love you forever, yeah

Some good friends and good songs can make a Friday night

There's still good people out there, we just get hurt sometimes

Everything above ground has a good day

And a little bit of love goes a long, long way, yeah

Pow-pow, pow-pow-pow-pow, yeah

Well, a worn-out Bible can hold a man together

You can love the same girl and have her love you forever, yeah

Some good friends and good songs can make a Friday night

There's still good people out there, we just get hurt sometimes

Everything above ground has a good day

And a little bit of love goes a long way

If he could be here now, that's what he'd say

A little bit of love goes a long, long way

A little bit of love, a little bit of love

A little bit of love

A little bit of love, a little bit of love, a little bit of love goes a long, long way

A little bit of love, a little bit of love

A little bit of love, a little bit of love, a little bit of love
