Down the street the dogs are barkin'
And the day is a-gettin' dark
When the night comes in a-fallin'
The dogs will lose their bark

And the silent night will shatter
From the sounds inside my mind
And 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

And I gaze back to the street
The sidewalk and the sign
And I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind

It's a restless hungry feeling
That don't do no one no good
When ev'rything I'm sayin'
You can say it just as good

When you're right from your side
And I'm right from mine
We're both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind
We're both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind
