You Don't Really Know (How Far You Can Go)

Marty Robbins · Two Gun Daddy [MCA] [1975]

I told myself there's no harm in just bein' friends

She belongs to another but it won't hurt to see her again

Now she's here in my arms and I'm tryin' to pretend it's not wrong

You don't really know how far you can go till you're already gone



Don't take no chances, be careful and no one will know

But when she comes around I can't help it if my feelin's show

Now the whole town is talking and the one that really loves me is gone

You don't really know how far you can go till you're already gone



I called her up and she says she can't see me again

She's found another but still thinks of me as a friend

Looks like I've gained a friend but I've lost everything that I own

You don't really know how far you can go till you're already gone



You don't really know how far you can go till you're already gone
