Queen Latifah Nikki Blonsky Zac Efron and Elijah Kelley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey old friend let's look back
On the crazy clothes we wore
Ain't it fun to look back
And to see it's all been done before

All those nights together
Are a special memory
And I can't wait for tomorrow
Just as long as you're dancing next to me

'Cause it's so clear every year we get stronger
What's gone is gone, the past is the past
Turn the radio up and then hit the gas 'cause

I know we've come so far
But we've got so far to go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long 'till it's time to go

So most days we'll take it fast
And some nights we'll take it slow
I know we've come so far
But baby, baby we've got so far to go

Hey old friend together
Side by side and year by year
The road was filled with twists and turns
Oh, but that's the road that got us here

Let's move past the bad times
But before those memories fade
Let's forgive but not forget
And learn from the mistakes we made

'Cause it's so clear every year we get stronger
So don't give up and don't say when
And just get back on the road again 'cause

I know we've come so far
But we've got so far to go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long 'till it's time to go

So most days we'll take it fast
And some nights we'll take it slow
I know we've come so far
But baby, baby we've got so far to go

Hey old friend come along for this ride
There's plenty of room so jump inside
The highway's rocky every now and then
But it's so much better then where I've been

Just keep movin' at your own speed
Your heart is all the compass you'll ever need
Let's keep cruisin' the road we're on
'Cause the rear view mirror only shows what's gone, gone, gone
We got so far to go

Oh, it's so clear every year we get stronger
So shine that light, take my hand
Let's dance into the promise land 'cause

I know we've come so far
But we've got so far to go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long 'till it's time to go

So most days we'll take it fast
And some nights we'll take it slow
I know we've come so far
But baby, baby we've got so far to go
But baby, baby we've got so far to go

Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go
Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go

Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go
Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go

Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go




Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go
