1,000 Miles Away

Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.
Been up before the sun and now I’m tired before I even
begin
(Now you’re flying) I got so much work in front of
me,
(Really flying) It stretches out far as the eye can
see
I can see


Spend half my life in airports
Doing crosswords and attempting to sleep,
And when the bar is open
Then you’ll often find me warming a seat
(Now you’re flying) I never find a place where I can
stay
(Really flying) I’d rather be a thousand miles away
Thousand miles away


Working for yourself sometimes ain’t all that it’s
cracked up to be
It can be as lonely at the top
As at the bottom of that corporate tree
(Now you’re flying) I’m told I’m going places
Who can say?
(Really flying) I might arrive,
But I’ll be gone the very next day
I must be on my way
A thousand miles away

Promised to myself someday
I’d take the time and try to make sense
Out of all those opportunities
I’ve lost from trying to sit on the fence
(Now you’re flying) But right now I’ve got no time for
yesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday’s a thousand miles away
A thousand miles away
(A thousand miles away)

(Now you’re flying) What was that that you were trying
to say?
I guess I was a thousand miles away


(...)
(A thousand miles away)
Sing it again
