3000 Miles Away Lyrics - Singles - Daily Planet

New Orleans could not find the groove 

In Nashville the grass did not seem blue 

And Denver did not seem more than three feet high 

The Empire did not scrape the sky 

And the White House seemed gray 

When you're 3000 miles away 

In Boston there was no common ground 

And Long Island did not make a sound 

Niagara rises and Old Faithful falls 

At Camden they did not play ball 

But who cares if they play 

When you're 3000 miles away 

CHORUS 

Your absence changes me and everything seems so wrong 

But with no sense of irony 

I write you this sweet love song today 

3000 miles away 

Chicago could not muster a breeze 

And there was a blizzard in The Keys 

New England's charms were wasted on these eyes 

I fear it came as no surprise 

Because it's just another day 

When you're 3000 miles away 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Distance is my tutor 

So well he's teaching me 

In the education of appreciation 

And I got my PH.D. 

In Georgia you're all that's on my mind 

In Cape Cod the ocean was untied 

And the motor city threw a rod 

And now I'm praying to you God 

Take me home to that face 

3000 miles away
