Tekst:
Dwight Yoakam

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere Time don't matter to me 'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere And there's no place I want to be I got heartaches

Little sister don't you, little sister don't you Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice Tell me that it's nice and then you ran in your house Oh

The clock in your pocket keeps tickin' But that don't get prayed to by me I threw away all I was given Just so that I could be free I've got no future

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere Time don't matter to me 'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere And there's no place I wanna be I've got heartaches

The only time I feel the pain Is in the sunshine or the rain And I don't feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth except

I got out walkin' after midnight Out in the moonlight just like we used to do I'm always walkin' after midnight Searchin' for you I walk for miles along

We've all got wheels to take ourselves away We've got telephones to say what we can't say We all got higher and higher every day Come on wheels take this

Chorus: Bury me along the big sandy Down in the blue gray mountains Rest my soul in those hills of coal Until this old earth does tremble Now don't

They're gonna put me in the movies They're gonna make a big star out of me We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely And all I?ve gotta do is
