One Too Many Mornings

Down the street the dogs are barkin'

And the day is a-gettin' dark

As the night comes in a-fallin'

The dogs will lose their bark



And the silent night will shatter

To the sounds inside my mind

When I'm one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behind



From the crossroads of my doorstep

My eyes they begin to fade

And I turn my head back to the room

Where my love and I have laid



And I gaze back to the street

The sidewalk and the sign

And I'm one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behind



It's a restless hungry feeling

That don't mean no one no good

When everything I'm a-singin'

You can sing it just as good



You are right on your side

And I am right on mine

We're not just one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behind
