Down the street the dogs are barking and the day is getting dark

As the night comes in a falling the dogs will lose their bark

And the silent night will shatter from the sounds inside my mind

I'm just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind

[ ac.guitar ]

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

[ banjo ]

It's a restless hungry feeling that don't mean no one no good

And everything I'm saying you can say it just as good

You're right from your side and I'm right from mine

We're just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind

Down the street the dogs are barking...
