1,000 Miles Lyrics

1,000 Miles

(Dwight Yoakam)

 

 Runway Four, Flight 209

 Teardrop falls, we start to climb

 This window seat proved a poor choice

 It shows the dream that's been destroyed

 

 A little baby starts to cry

 Hey, I would too, if not for pride

 I owe so much to pride, it's true

 It brought an end to me and you

 

 Chorus:

 But if I could, I'd turn around

 Set my feet back on the ground

 'Cause all this plane ride holds for me

 Is a thousand miles of misery

 I hear the engines, watch the clouds

 The whole damn world looks distant now

 But I can't seem to put no space

 Between my cold heart and your sweet face

 

 Across the aisle they're holding hands

 Revealing brand new wedding bands

 But our sweet gold, it's gone to rust

 Now my life has turned to dust

 

 Chorus:

 But if I could, I'd turn around

 Set my feet back on the ground

 'Cause all this plane ride holds for me

 Is a thousand miles of misery

 All this plane ride holds for me

 Is a thousand miles of misery
