1,000 Miles Lyrics
We filled our suitcases up to the brim
With old mem'ries and the ghosts of faded friends
Got on a plane for a new hometown
Asleep at O' Hare, trying not to make a sound
And we watched as Chicago fell away
And Dawn broke on what we swore
Would be a better day
And these are the memories we'll share
Long after I've grown up and cut off all my hair
I'm a thousand miles away, but you won't ever have to say
You're sorry to me
So I graduated, and I got out
Teardrops tracked my face when I left town
And they broke me down, Dad, you know they took everything
And I walked out the other side, someone you've never seen
I've told you this a thousand times before
That I could never ask for anything more
So I hope this song will help you see
I hope you know how much you've always meant to me
With old mem'ries and the ghosts of faded friends
Got on a plane for a new hometown
Asleep at O' Hare, trying not to make a sound
And Dawn broke on what we swore
Would be a better day
Long after I've grown up and cut off all my hair
I'm a thousand miles away, but you won't ever have to say
You're sorry to me
Teardrops tracked my face when I left town
And they broke me down, Dad, you know they took everything
And I walked out the other side, someone you've never seen
That I could never ask for anything more
So I hope this song will help you see
I hope you know how much you've always meant to me
