1000 Miles Away Lyrics

Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.

Been up before the sun and now I'm
tired before I even begin.

(Now you're flying) I got so much work in
front of me,

(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can see.

I can see.



Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and
attempting to sleep,

And when the bar is open then you'll often find me
warming a seat.

(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can
stay

(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away.

Thousand
miles away.



Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's
cracked up to be.

It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that
corporate tree

(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can say
?

(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the very next day.

I must be on my way

A thousand miles away.



Promised to
myself someday I'd take the time and try to make sense

Out of all those
opportunities I've lost from trying to sit on the fence

(Now you're
flying) But right now I've got no time for yesterday

(Really flying)
Yesterday's a thousand miles away.

A thousand miles away.



What was that that you were trying to say ?

I guess I was a thousand
miles away.

Sing it again.
