The Great Divide Lyrics - All I Want - Tim Mcgraw

She was reading a book that she'd already read 

Just to pass the time 

He just sat there and stared at the TV set 

Like he was barely alive 

When the local news was over 

They would climb the stairs 

And crawl in bed underneath the covers 

Like neither one was there 

And it's a long, long way 

Across the great divide 

The songs that they once sang 

Now echo far and wide

NEW SONG: Chris Lane - 'Big, Big Plans' (Video for Lauren) - LYRICS 

They could still get back all the love that they have lost 

But only if they both will reach across 

'Cause it's a long, long way 

To the other side of the great divide 

He was up in the attic on the Fourth of July 

'Cause they flew a flag in the yard 

When he found some old roses she had long ago dried 

Before they drifted apart 

And how the years had slipped right by them 

He didn't understand 

He carried a petal into the kitchen 

And he placed it in her hand 

And it's a long, long way 

Across the great divide 

The songs that they once sang 

Now echo far and wide 

They could still get back all the love that they have lost 

But only if they both will reach across 

'Cause it's a long, long way 

To the other side of the great divide
