One Too Many Mornings

Down the street the dogs are barkin'

And the day is a-gettin' dark

As the night comes in a-fallin'

The dogs'll lose their bark

An' the silent night will shatter

From the sounds inside my minds

For I'm one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behind.

From the crossroads of my doorstep

My eyes start to fade

As I turn my head back to the room

Where my love and I have laid

An' I gaze back to the street

The sidewalk and the sign

And I'm one too many mornings

An' a thousand miles behind.

It's a restless hungry feeling

That don't mean no one no good

When ev'rything I'm a-sayin'

You can say it just as good

You're right from your side

I'm right from mine

We're both just too many mornings

An' a thousand miles behind.
