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
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 sayin'
You can say it just as good
You are right from your side
I'm right from mine
We're just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind
We're just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind
