A Thousand Miles Ago Lyrics by Mel Tillis

Heart Over Mind and Other Big Country Hits

0

There's a thousand miles in back of me and many more to go
Ridin' on a freight train feeling mighty low
I keep a wonderin' why she quit me but I guess I'll never know
Yes she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago

A thousand miles ago I started feeling bad
'Cause I just lost the future I thought I really had
I know I shouldn't feel this way 'cause I still love her so
And I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago

I know I've held her in my arms a thousand times or more
Promised her a world of love till I learned the score
That's why I'm feeling lonesome that's why I'm feeling low
She used to be my baby a thousand miles ago

A thousand miles ago I started feeling bad
'Cause I just lost the future I thought I really had
I know I shouldn't feel this way 'cause I still love her so
And I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago
Yeah, I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago
