Day 622 - Day 257

“I got heartaches in my pocket. I got echoes in my head. And all that I keep hearing are the cruel, cruel things that you said”

A Thousand Miles From Nowhere: Dwight Yoakam, This Time

 

This song always had a very mellow California feel to it… very long drawn out chords on the guitar that pull the listener in. I was always entranced and sentimental with the notion that I wanted to get on the road and go a thousand miles away. I’m sure that I’m not alone in saying that I have often wanted to drive and drive till I was lost after a break up…

Lost in the path of “Where the hell am I?”

 

Lyrics:

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 in my pocket

I got echoes in my head

And all that I keep hearing

Are the cruel, cruel things that you said

 

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

 

Oh, I… Oh, I…

 

I got bruises on my memory

I got tear stains on my hands

And in the mirror there's a vision

Of what used to be a man

 

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'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'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'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'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
