A Thousand Miles Ago
There's a thousand miles in back of me and many more to go
Ridin' on a freight train feeling mighty low
I keep-a wonderin' why she quit me but I guess I'll never know
Yeah she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago
A thousand miles ago I started feelin' bad
'Cause I just lost the future I thought I really had
I know I shouldn't feel this way but I still love her so
I can't keep from thinkin' about a thousand miles ago
I know I've held her in my arms a thousand times or more
Promised her a world of love 'til I learned the score
That's why I'm feeling lonesome, that's why I'm feeling low
Yeah she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago
A thousand miles ago I started feelin' bad
'Cause I just lost the future I thought I really had
I know I shouldn't feel this way but I still love her so
I can't keep from thinkin' about a thousand miles ago
