I've Never Gone This Far Before

Sammy Kershaw · Maybe Not Tonight [1999]

(Keith Stegall - Gary Harrison - Carson Chamberlain)



I've seen the lights down on Sunset Strip

The Caribbean from the deck of a ship

But I've never gone this far before

Stood on a coast where the horizon stops

The Rocky Mountains I've climbed to the top

But I've never gone this far before.



I've been around the world but never been to where I'm at

And I know, girl, this feeling ain't on no map

I've been in love heart and soul but when I hold you

All I know is I've never gone this far before.



I've walked the midnight streets of Spain

The Champs Elyse in the pouring rain

But I've never gone this far before

Not many places I haven't been

But here in your arms at the rainbow's end

Oh, I've never gone this far before.



I've been around the world but never been to where I'm at

And I know, girl, this feeling ain't on no map

I've been in love heart and soul but when I hold you

All I know is I've never gone this far before.



Oh, I've never gone this far before...
