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, woah

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

That you've taken me as far as you could
