Too Far Away Songtext

von Snowy White

In the heat of the night there's a neon light
Where a cup of black coffee kills the appetite
Travelling man closed his dusty eyes
Resting down by the riverside

Sudden spark of a cigarette
The Texas coast is a long way yet
One thousand miles too far away

Crazy girl standing by the road
She don't even know where she's going
One of the unforgiven
Making up her angel face in the mirror
Cold cups of coffee by the unmade bed
The scent of her cheap perfume tells the story

How she ran away from home
Because freeway child, following her lonely star
One thousand miles too far away

Whisky man got old eyes and stories full of lies
But good to pass away the time
As the sun comes up and the blinds go down
Living in this small town
Where the waitress smiles, she ain't never seen the sea
And smelled that special air

Maybe she'll get there one fine day
But it's one thousand miles too far away
One thousand miles too far away
