Down the street the dogs are barkin' And the day is a-gettin' dark As the night comes in a-fallin' The dogs'll lose their bark An' the silent night will shatter From the sounds inside my minds For I'm one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind.
From the crossroads of my doorstep My eyes start to fade As I turn my head back to the room Where my love and I have laid An' I gaze back to the street The sidewalk and the sign And I'm one too many mornings An' a thousand miles behind.
It's a restless hungry feeling That don't mean no one no good When ev'rything I'm a-sayin' You can say it just as good You're right from your side I'm right from mine We're both just too many mornings An' a thousand miles behind.
