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. 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. 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.
