As Far As It Goes

George Strait · Honkytonkville [MCA] [2003]

Lately I've found myself falling

Deeper in love with you

I'm not the kind of guy who gets swept away

So here is what I'm gonna do

I am gonna give you this heart of mine

But that's where I draw the line



CHORUS

I'm only gonna give you everything

Take it a mile beyond the end of the road

I'm gonna love you one day past forever

But that's as far as it goes



I know it may not sound like much

But baby make no mistake

I'm gonna treat you with more tenderness

Than any one woman can take

I'm gonna make all your dreams come true

But after that baby I'm through



CHORUS



You've got your limits

I've got mine

I'm only gonna go the distance

Time after time



CHORUS



But that's as far as it goes

As Far As It Goes
