Thousand Miles Away Lyrics

Well I'm just a lonesome cowboy

Like we see on silver screen

But ain't got no guns or ammo

Only carrying my dreams

And I don't feel I belong

To all the places that I've been

Now it's time to head back home

I'm just following the wind

And so I'm waiting on the ol' dirt road

As the sky is turning red

Getting set on the next goal

To get into my head

So I'll keep hitchhiking the highway

Still waiting in the sun

Singing "For now I'm on my way

And goodbye the Yukon"

I've got my sleeping bag, my whiskey and my guitar in my pack

Rolling all around my country and I never look back

But I'm riding in a truck, where do I belong?

I'm still a thousand miles away from my home sweet home

Rollin' on 97

Now heading for the Rockies

The pure air, the horizon

Counting towns and cities

From Dawson to PG

From Banff to Calgary

The beauty of this country

Is the people that we meet

I've got my sleeping bag, my whiskey and my guitar in my pack

Rolling all around my country and I never look back

But I'm riding in a truck, where do I belong?

I'm still a thousand miles away from my home sweet home

The thumbs up in the Prairies

On this long and windy road

A cowboy and his stories

On another episode

But now, there comes the night

And time to unpack my bedroll,

To dream under the northern lights

About what tomorrow holds

I've got my sleeping bag, my whiskey and my guitar in my pack

Rolling all around my country and I never look back

But I'm riding in a truck, where do I belong?

I'm still a thousand miles away from my home sweet home

I'm still a thousand miles away from my home sweet home
