| There’s thousand miles in back of me
|
| And many more to go,
|
| Riding on a freight train feeling mighty low.
|
| I keep wonderin' why she quit me,
|
| Now I guess I’ll never know.
|
| Yes, she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago.
|
| Chorus:
|
| 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.
|
| Oh, she used to be my baby a thousand miles ago.
|
| Well, I know I’ve held her in my arms
|
| A thousand times or more-
|
| Promised her a world of love 'til 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.
|
| Yes, that’s why I’m feeling lonesome,
|
| That’s why I’m feeling low-
|
| She used to be my baby a thousand miles ago.
|
| Repeat Chorus |
