Down the streets the dogs are barkin'
And the day is a-gettin' dark
As the night comes in a-fallin
The dogs'll lose their bark
And the silent night will shatter
From the sounds inside my mind
For I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind
From the crossroads of my doorstep,
My eyes they 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.
