Thousand Miles Away (Smoky Mountains Sessions)

"Good night, darling"

Coming through a phone call

Laying in a bed I sleep alone

Been four days now

Since we've talked about

Anything but how your day was going

Most our fights are just because I miss you

I'm thinking about how much I wanna be with you

Well, girl, can you imagine

The life we'll have when

You're just a girl down the road?

And I'll bring you flowers

To your front porch after

Work on my way home

And I won't have to spend most my days

Feeling like my heart's a thousand miles away

Well, I could swim across that 'Sippi river

Hitchhike from here to Denver

And I'd still be ten hours from your door

I hate how I fall asleep

When you still got sunlight to see

But I guess that's the price that I pay for

Loving a girl across the zones of time

Loving you is worth it and I ain't changing my mind

Girl, can you imagine

The life we'll have when

You're just a girl down the road?

And I'll bring you flowers

To your front porch after

Work on my way home

And I won't have to spend most my days

Feeling like my heart's a thousand miles away, hey, hey

A thousand miles away

Well, girl, can you imagine

The life we'll have when

You're just a girl down the road?

And I'll bring you flowers

To your front porch after

Work on my way home

And, darling, we can dance every time it rains

And I won't have to spend most my days

Feeling like my heart's a thousand miles away

A thousand miles away
