Mel Tillis - Thousand Miles Ago lyrics

There's a thoudand 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

[ guitar ]

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...

Yeah I can't keep from thinking about a thousand miles ago
