Thousand Miles Ago Lyrics - Mel Tillis

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 

[ guitar ] 

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
