ADown the street the dogs are baAmrkin'
And the dGay is a-gettin' daArk
As the night comes in a-fallin'
The doDgs will lose their bEark
And the siAlent night will shatter
From the soGunds inside my miAnd
As I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles beDhind
FArom the crossroads of my doorstep
My eGyes start to faAde
As I turn my head back to the room
DWhere my love and I have lEaid
I gaAze back to the street
To the sidGewalk and the siAgn
And I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles beDhind
AIt's a restless hungry feelin'
And it doGes mean no one no goAod
When everythin' I'm a-sayin'
You cDan say it just as goEod
You're riAght from your side
I'm rGight from mAine
AWe're both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behDind
AWe're both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behDind
