one too many mornings

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 minds

for i'm one too many mornings

and a thousand miles behind. from the crossroads of my doorstep

my eyes 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.
