Come So Far Got So Far To Go
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

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 lets take it slow
I know we've come so far
But 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
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 lets take it slow
I know we've come so far
But baby
We've got so far to go

Hey old friend come along for the ride
There's plenty of room so jump inside
The highway's rocky every now and then
But it so much better than
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

'Cause it's so clear
Every year
We get stronger
So shine that light
Take my hand
And let's dance into tomorrow 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 let's take it slow
I know we've come so far
Oh but baby, baby
We've got so far to go
Baby, baby
We've got so far to go
Baby, baby
We've got so far to go
Baby, baby
We've got so far to go
Baby, baby
We've got so far to go...

@cocoamichelle9422

This movie is so ahead of it's time and so underrated that even the morality and message it has coincides with what's still going on in the lives of P.O.C. today

@Geminicricketi

I Fukien hate that word. “Underrated “. This generation love that word. This movie is in no way shape or form underrated…o cuz your lil friends not talking about it. Please kill that word. This movie got its recognition.

@jazzsolocup3291

This move isn’t underrated. The original came out in 1988 and it became a cult classic. So they made a musical about it. Doesn’t sound very underrated to me if you have such a huge fan following, you make a whole musical made off it over 30 years later and it’s a smash hit
