about

I had the idea for this for a while, the lyric outline and the basic structure, verse/verse/bridge/verse, but one day I decided to pretty much completely re-write the lyric. And while I was doing that, this awesome melody came to me pretty easily one day on the beach in Westbrook, CT. By the time I got home and recorded a basic guitar/vocal demo, the song had completely come together in my head. It's a very simple country lament that I think a lot of people will relate to, especially younger folks because of the almost high school or college dating theme. I can imagine Willie Nelson singing this, or any one of his protégées, it's got that Willie Nelson phrasing and vocal style. This is the type of song that I think could be covered by several different artists. Terry Miggins played both acoustic and electric guitars solos on this, the nylon guitar is beautiful and he said the electric guitar accents he arranged for this were inspired by listening to Mark Knopfler.

lyrics

I've Never Known How Far To Go With You
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2014 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

I’ve never known how far to go with you,
Or what I could and what I couldn’t do,
And while I fooled around,
Someone else would take you out,
It’s happened, and it’s happening again,
I always let you slip right through my hands…

If the light was green I’d never see the sign,
So I let myself get hurt time after time,
When you found yourself in need,
You would never turn to me,
So many times I felt like such a fool,
‘Cause I’ve never known how far to go with you…

-middle eight-
Love is never easy, if it’s easy it’s not love,
That’s what I heard my sister say,
On the phone with her friend yesterday,
But it’s been so hard for me to make a move,
I’m afraid you might not think of me that way…

I’ve never known how far to go with you,
If I had three steps to take I’d just take two,
In the end I’ll take the blame,
You could be a kiss away,
Then again you might be turned off by the truth,
So I’ve never known how far to go with you…

-repeat last verse-
