Down the street the dogs are barkin' and the day is gettin' dark
As the night comes in a-fallin' the dogs will lose their bark
And 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
And i gaze back to the street, the sidewalk, and the sign
And i'm one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind

It's a restless hungry feeling that don't mean no one no good
When everything i'm a-sayin', you can say it just as good
You're right from your side, i am right from mine
We're both just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind
