The Way It Was

I drove through the desert last night I carried the weight of our last fight Elvis singing don't be cruel, and I wonder if you feel it too It's like we're going under Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda county line The question of my heart came to my mind Chorus If I go on with you by my side Can it be the way it was When we met, did you forget all about those golden nights Verse 2 Maybe a thief stole your heart Maybe we just drifted apart I remember driving in my daddy's car to the airfield Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust That paradise is buried in the dust Chorus If I go on with you by my side Can it be the way it was When we met, did you forget all about those golden nights Bridge All of our plans have fallen through Sometimes a dream don't come true Chorus Darling Darling If we go on Can it be the way it was When we met did you forget all about them golden nights If I go on with you by my side Can it be the way it was My heart is true, girl it's just you I'm thinking of Can it be the way it was Outro Maybe a thief stole your heart
