{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
