The Way It Was
I drove through the desert last nightI carried the weight of our last fightElvis singing "don't be cruel"And I wonder if you feel it tooIt's like we're going under
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda county lineThe question of my heart came to my mind
If I go onWith you by my sideCan it beThe way it wasWhen we metDid you forget all about those golden nights?
Maybe a thief stole your heartOr maybe we just drifted apartI remember drivingIn my daddy's car to the airfieldBlanket on the hood, backs against the windshieldBack then this thing was running on momentum, love and trustThat paradise is buried in the dust
If I go onWith you by my sideCan it beThe way it wasWhen we metDid you forget all about those golden nights?(The way it was)
All of our plans have fallen throughSometimes a dream, it don't come true
Darling!Darling!
If we go onCan it beThe way it wasWhen we metDid you forget all about them golden nights?
If I go onWith you by my sideCan it beThe way it wasMy heart is trueGirl, it's just youI'm thinking ofCan it be the way it was?
Maybe a thief stole your heart
