A Hundred Miles Ago

the sun went down a hundred miles ago

asphalt shining in the headlights' glow

nothing but time and nowhere to go

'cuz the sun went down a hundred miles ago

miles away and miles apart

I gotta heal this worn and weathered heart

somewhere down this road, there's a place to start

miles away and miles apart

drifting through the days between

the things we've done, the things we've seen

crippling indecision and despair

chasing something I can't name

somehow it always ends the same

'cuz everywhere I go, I find me there

there's shaky ground underneath this sand

best laid plans didn't go as planned

so you can run away or you can take my hand

cuz there's shaky ground underneath this sand

now I know you're tired, but baby hear me out

we got a suitcase full of fear and doubt

but we ain't got much to be sad about

I know you're tired, but baby hear me out

drifting through the days between

the things we've done, the things we've seen

the unkind things we didn't mean to say

we've got a chance to leave it all behind

change your heart, change your mind

somehow we're still standing here today

so put some music on, baby close your eyes

sleep beneath these south dakota skies

no excuses here, no alibis

put some music on, baby close your eyes

'cuz the sun went down a hundred miles ago

asphalt shining in the headlights glow

So baby, let me in or let me go

'cuz the sun went down a hundred miles ago

yeah, the sun went down a hundred miles ago

yeah, the sun went down a hundred miles ago
