I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours And I struck out across Texas, gonna walk it line to line Now I'm halfway cross New Mexico, but you're still on my mind
This road that's going nowhere just leads me on and on As I ask myself with every step will I ever be alone?
I wonder just how far it is over you? Is there no place I go, that you don't come to? 'Cause when I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you?
I was deep in California when I finally made a friend It was me and that old Hobo till you showed up again Then he ran out of liquor and I've run out of time I'm standing by the ocean, but you're still on my mind
I'm staring at the water so blue and deep and wide Bet a man could lose a memory over on the other side
I wonder just how far it is over you? Is there no place I go, that you don't come too? 'Cause when I left Tennessee, honey I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you?
