We've all got a story 'round here that God wanted to tell

I think about it every now and then when I'm drinking by myself

And I pull that old box of records down

Solid gold

And watch those memories spin around

This is how it goes

Do you ever go down to Paradise City

'Cause I still do, it still gets me high

Not a day goes by that I don't think twice

About letting you down and letting you go

Your car wheels on a gravel road

Sounds so good, feels so bittersweet

The story of you and me

I box the heartbreak up

Put it back on the shelf

So close to letting go but I can't help myself

I gotta turn down the lights and turn up the stereo

And lean my head against the wall and there I go

And I'm back in your arms and Tuesday's gone

Every "I love you" always on my mind

Not a day goes by that I don't think twice

About letting you down and letting you go

Your car wheels on a gravel road

Sounds so good, feels so bittersweet

The story of you and me

And I ain't seen you in forever

But that's alright

I know wherever you are

You look wonderful tonight

Do you ever go down to Paradise City

'Cause I still do, it still gets me high

Not a day goes by that I don't think twice

About letting you down and letting you go

Your car wheels on a gravel road

Sounds so good, feels so bittersweet

Oh it sounds so good, feels so bittersweet

The story of you and me

You and me
