Down the street the dogs are barkin`
And the day is a-gettin` dark.
As the night comes in a-fallin`,
The dogs `ll lose their bark.
An` 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
