The Great Divide Lyrics

by Tim McGraw

She was reading a book she'd already read
Just to pass the time
He just sat there and starred at the TV set
Like he was barely alive
And when the local news was over
They would climb the stairs
And crawl in bed underneath the covers
Like niether one was there

CHORUS:

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


He was up in the attic on the fourth of July
Cuz 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

(Repeat chorus
