(a country song)
VERSE
The other day the phone rang.
You were on the line.
“I’ve just moved back to town,” you said.
“I hope you’re doing fine.
I’m calling from the honky tonk.
Why don’t you come on down?”
I dropped the phone, jumped in my truck,
And high-tailed out of town.
CHORUS
A thousand miles between us
Is a thousand miles too few.
A thousand miles ain’t nearly
Far enough away from you.
A thousand miles yesterday.
A thousand miles today.
Tomorrow I’ll drive another thousand miles.
VERSE
I gave you all I had to give.
You took it all away.
The day you left, the note you left
Said you were gone to stay.
You left me crying in my beer
You left me on my knees.
You left me with a broken heart,
Your bills, and a disease.
CHORUS
A thousand miles between us
Is a thousand miles too few.
A thousand miles ain’t nearly
Far enough away from you.
A thousand miles yesterday.
A thousand miles today.
Tomorrow I’ll drive another thousand miles.
VERSE
Everything was going good
Until it all went bad.
The day you went away, you went
Away with all I had.
You took my cash, my guns, my car,
My dog, and my best friend.
And if you get another chance
You’ll do it all again.
CHORUS
A thousand miles between us
Is a thousand miles too few.
A thousand miles ain’t nearly
Far enough away from you.
A thousand miles yesterday.
A thousand miles today.
Tomorrow I’ll drive another thousand miles.
VERSE
You took my watch, you took my clothes,
You took my diamond ring.
You took my food, you took my booze.
You took most everything.
You took my pride, my dignity,
You took my spirit too.
But worst of all you took my heart.
I’m still in love with you.
CHORUS
A thousand miles between us
Is a thousand miles too few.
A thousand miles ain’t nearly
Far enough away from you.
A thousand miles yesterday.
A thousand miles today.
Tomorrow I’ll drive another thousand miles.
