(a country song)
VERSE
Yesterday the phone rang. You were on the line.
“I just moved back to town,” you said, “and I hope you’re doing fine.”
You said “I’m at the corner bar. Why don’t you come on down?”
I ran outside, jumped in my rig, and high-tailed out of town.
CHORUS
A thousand miles between us is a thousand miles too few.
A thousand miles of exit signs and a thousand towns won’t do.
A thousand miles last night, another thousand today.
I’ll be on this ol’ highway ‘till I’m far enough away.
VERSE
I can’t get too close to you. We know how it would end.
I’m searching for a partner. You’re looking for a friend.
If we get back together, there will come a day
When I won’t want to let you go and you won’t want to stay.
CHORUS
A thousand miles between us is a thousand miles too few.
A thousand miles of exit signs and a thousand towns won’t do.
A thousand miles last night, another thousand today.
I’ll be on this ol’ highway ‘till I’m far enough away.
BRIDGE
Oh darlin’
I got a major problem.
You see I’m still in love with you.
CHORUS
A thousand miles between us is a thousand miles too few.
A thousand miles of exit signs and a thousand towns won’t do.
A thousand miles last night, another thousand today.
I’ll be on this ol’ highway ‘till I’m far enough away.
I’ll be on this ol’ highway ‘till I’m far enough away…from you.
