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 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
