[Tim McGraw - The Great Divide lyrics]
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
And 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
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
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
And 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
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
