{Verse 1} There's a million steps between Your spirit and these stars And another million back To this drink here at this bar A million apologies to make If I could remember who they are And where to turn to get back on These speakin' terms Get back on These speakin' terms {Verse 2} Somewhere 'round Texarkana In an almost empty room An old fella with a pawn-shop guitar Singing river songs and delta blues All the wisdom of the world Is locked inside those tunеs Eternal and firm To get your soul back on Those spеakin' terms Those speakin' terms {Verse 3}
Had a million stages to stand upon A million lights above On some barroom stationery I scrawled out some words of love To preach myself a sermon About all those bridges that I burned To get you back On speakin' terms {Verse 4} You can hate your enemy You can call out their worst sins But the only thing that hatred does It just makes you one of them There's a million apologies to make If our hearts could find the words To get back on Those speakin' terms Yeah, to get back on Those speakin' terms Just get back on Those speakin' terms {Guitar Solo}
