There's a thoudand 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
Yes she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago
A thousand miles ago I started feeling bad
Cause I just lost the future I thought I really had
I know I shouldn't feel this way cause I still love her so
And I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago

[ guitar ]
I know I've held her in my arms a thousand times or more
Promised her a world of love till I learned the score
That's why I'm feeling lonesome that's why I'm feeling low
She used to be my baby a thousand miles ago
A thousand miles ago...
Yeah I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago

Thousand Miles Ago Lyrics
