10,000 MILES

IT’S A HUNDRED MILES TO COOKEVILLE
A HUNDRED MILES TO ALABAM
TWO HUNDRED MILES TO MEMPHIS TENNESSEE

AND I’M CLOSE ENOUGH TO TOUCH YOU
IF YOU’D JUST SHUT UP AND LET IT BE
THERE MUST BE TEN THOUSAND MILES
BETWEEN YOU AND ME

WELL I’D SWIM ANY RIVER CLIMB ANY MOUNTAIN
I’D SHIMMY ANY OLD OAK TREE
I’D DANCE WITH THE DEVIL ON SATURDAY NIGHT
IF YOU’D JUST TALK TO ME
WITH THIS WALL WE’VE BUILT BETWEEN US
WE HAVE TO GO AROUND THE WORLD TO SPEAK
THERE MUST BE TEN THOUSAND MILES
BETWEEN YOU AND ME

COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN
WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END
HOW CAN WE EVER BE LOVERS
IF WE CAN’T EVEN BE FRIENDS

LIKE I HATE TO SEE YOU COMING
ON YOUR HIGH HORSE AND FANCY WAYS
I’D LIKE TO TAKE YOU BACK DOWN THAT OLD DIRT ROAD
WHERE WE STARTED IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS

WELL I’D SWIM ANY RIVER CLIMB ANY MOUNTAIN
I’D SHIMMY ANY OLD OAK TREE
I’D DANCE WITH THE DEVIL ON SATURDAY NIGHT
IF YOU’D JUST TALK TO ME
WITH THIS WALL WE’VE BUILT BETWEEN US
WE HAVE TO GO AROUND THE WORLD TO SPEAK
THERE MUST BE TEN THOUSAND MILES
BETWEEN YOU AND ME

WELL I’D SWIM ANY RIVER CLIMB ANY MOUNTAIN
I’D SHIMMY ANY OLD OAK TREE
I’D DANCE WITH THE DEVIL ON SATURDAY NIGHT
IF YOU’D JUST TALK TO ME
WITH THIS WALL WE’VE BUILT BETWEEN US
WE HAVE TO GO AROUND THE WORLD TO SPEAK
THERE MUST BE TEN THOUSAND MILES
BETWEEN YOU AND ME
THERE MUST BE TEN THOUSAND MILES
BETWEEN YOU AND ME
