One Too Many Mornings (Live at Hughes Stadium, Ft. Collins, CO - May 1976) Lyrics

Down the street, the dogs are barkin'
And the day is gettin' dark
As the night comes in a-fallin'
The dogs, they'll lose their bark

An' the silent night will shatter
From the sounds inside my mind
As I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind

From the crossroads of my doorstep
My eyes begin to fade
And I turn my head back to the room
Where my love and I have laid

An' I gaze back to the street
The sidewalks and the sign
Never know I'm one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind

It's a restless hungry feeling
And it don't mean no one no good
When ev'rything that I'm sayin'
You can say it just as good

You're right from your side
And I'm right from mine
We're both just one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind

I know right, I'll behave
If you've got right to stay
Or tell about the one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind
