[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well I thought I d do the right thing
And just hang around n a bar, well--
Hopin that you might show
But it never got that far
Well, my plans they stunk and I wound up drunk
I really got the point
Two black eyes and broken nose
And a night down in the joint
[Chorus]
I went to staggerinâ lengths
I went to staggerinâ lengths
I went to staggerinâ lengths
To get on back with you
Baby, you know it makes sense
Iâd go to any expense
I go to staggering lengths
To get on back with you
[Verse 2]
Now if I took a trip up to the moon
Yeah, hung around on Mars
And whil d away some hours
Droppin bricks on top of some cars
Well I wound up broke and I gave up hope
I got an earhole and a guitar
And I can get myself out of anything
Except myself out of this bar
[Chorus]
I go to staggerinâ lengths
I go to staggerinâ lengths
I go to staggerinâ lengths
To get on back with you
Baby, you know it makes sense
Iâd go to any expense
I go to staggering lengths
To get on back with you-- I m leavin !
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
The police stood in my doorway
Her clothes draped on his head
I left the talkin to Honest
And hid under the bed
He said âone more peep out of you Son,
And weâll have you banged to rightsâ
And those few words were all that I heard
As they sped off into the night
[Chorus]
I went t staggerinâ lengths
I went to staggerinâ lengths
I went to staggerinâ lengths
To get it on back with you-- Oh
I know it makes sense-- that s why
I ll go to any expense
Yeah, I go to staggering lengths
To get on back with you
I go to staggerinâ lengths
Yeah, I go to staggerinâ lengths
I go to staggerinâ lengths
To it get on back with you-- Oh
Yeah, you know it makes sense
I ll go to any expense
I go t staggerin lengths
To get on back
Staggering lengths
To get on back wi
Staggerin lengths
To get it on back with you-- la la la laaaa
