Gary Morris - Miles Across the Bedroom lyrics

rate me

(Lester S. Moore - Jeffrey Rea)

Well, I got myself in trouble

I've been there before

Doin' something that I swore

I wouldn't do any more.

I stayed out last night drinkin'

And I crawled home half past five

Through the window I could see her

She was cryin', cry, cry, cryin'.

With my lightning quick reaction

I slipped around the house

And I sneaked into the back door

Just a quiet as a mouse.

First my right foot then my left one

Another step and I'm home free

When an angel's voice I knew so well

Said these words to me.

Chorus:

Gonna be miles across the bedroom tonight

No undercover honky tonkin'

When we turn out the lights

The only thing to hope for

Is some time to get things right

Gonna be miles across the bedroom tonight.

Well, I thought that it was morning

By the pounding in my head

So I reached across the pillow

But I found an empty bed.

Her track led to the kitchen

I could the smell the coffee brew

On the table lay a simple note

It said boy I'm leavin' you.

Chorus:

Gonna be miles across the bedroom tonight

No undercover honky tonkin'

When we turn out the lights

The only thing to hope for

Is some time to get things right

Gonna be miles across the bedroom tonight.

In a week I found my senses

In a heartbeat found the phone

So I placed a call to her mother

'Cause I knew that's where she'd gone.

I told her I was sinkin'

And I would surely drown

If she'd only come back to me

I would never let her, never let her

Never let her down.

For a moment there was silence

And she said I love you too

And my mama drives me crazy

I'll be comin' home to you.

No more miles across the bedroom tonight

Gonna be undercover honky tonkin'

When we turn out the lights

The best that we can hope for

Is the time to do things right.

No more miles across the bedroom

Gonna be smiles across the bedroom tonight...
