Estimated time of
arrival 9.30 a.m.
Been up before the sun
and now I'm tired
before I even begin
I got so much work
in front of me
It stretches out far
as the eye can see
I can see
Spend half my life in
airports doing crosswords
and attempting to sleep
And when the bar is open
then you'll often find
me warming a seat
I never find a place
where I can stay
I'd rather be a
thousand miles away
Thousand miles away
Working for yourself
sometimes ain't all that
it's cracked up to be
It can be as lonely
at the top as at
the bottom of that
corporate tree
I'm told I'm
going places,
who can say?
I might arrive but I'll be
gone the very next day
I must be on my way
A thousand miles away
Promised to myself
someday I'd take the
time and try
to make sense
Out of all those
opportunities I've lost
from trying to sit
on the fence
But right now I've got
no time for yesterday
Yesterday's a thousand
miles away
A thousand
miles away
A thousand
miles away
What was that
that you were
trying to say?
I guess I was a
thousand miles away...
Hey hey hey...
hey hey hey
Sing it again...
Sing it again...
Sing it again...
Sing it again...
