D-Why - 2,000 Miles lyrics

rate me

I open my eyes, I’m thirty miles from Oklahoma

I’m so far from West Virginia

I have dreams of Barcelona

Memories of growing up

In between all the mountains

Left my morals in New York

Somehow again I found them

The tears in her eyes, the dirt on my boots

Your home or the road, she said I must choose

I miss the good old days

But now I’m all on my own

Everywhere to be, got no place to go

Lost in translation, left here to roam

Alone 2000 miles from home

2000 miles from home

2000 miles from home

This old man once told me

“Trust only yourself and Jesus”

Then he disappeared

And left me in the desert for no reason

Now the sun has burnt my back

And all I see is an oasis

Frowns and cries

And heckles from such unfamiliar faces

The tears in my eyes, the dirt on my hands

I’ve been gone for so long, I hope you understand

I’m trying to find my way

But now I’m all on my own

Everywhere to be, got no place to go

Lost in translation, left here to roam

Alone 2000 miles from home

2000 miles from home

2000 miles from home

San Francisco, Tennessee

I guess this is the life for me

Austin, Dallas, New Orleans

I fell in love with a beauty queen

Charleston, Newport, Miami

The road has been so good to me

But I must stop, sometimes I can’t

Think about how I want to go home

Go home

But now I’m all on my own

Everywhere to be, got no place to go

Lost in translation, left here to roam

Alone 2000 miles from home

2000 miles from home

2000 miles from home
