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
