C                 G7      
Down the street the dogs are barkin' 
         F        G7      C  
And the day is a-gettin' dark. 
        C                G7 
As the night comes in a-fallin', 
     Dm7       G         G7  
The dogs 'll lose their bark. 
         C                  G7 
An' the silent night will shatter 
          C        G7       C 
From the sounds inside my mind, 
         C 
For I'm one too many mornings 
         F      G7      C 
And a thousand miles behind. 
 
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. 
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.
