A Thousand Miles To Go by David Allen Ruzicka

My job keeps me away from home

But no matter where I may roam

My love for you runs deeper than the roots

Beneath the tallest trees

At night when I think of you

I wonder what else can I do

The road's where I make my living

So I hope you'll be forgiving

(Chorus)

You know I miss you ev'ry night

And want to hold you oh-so tight

I want to feel your tender lips

And give you a great big kiss

I've got a thousand miles to go

And feel your absence in my soul

I want you to be my wife

You are the love of my life

It's a lonely life on the road

And I'm hauling a heavy load

Thoughts of you come blowin' through my mind

Like a cool mountain breeze

I'll give you a call ev'ry night

And hope that you'll be alright

When I'm up past the midnight hour

I pray to a higher power

You know I miss you ev'ry night

And want to hold you oh-so tight

I want to feel your tender lips

And give you a great big kiss

I've got a thousand miles to go

And feel your absence in my soul

I want you to be my wife

You are the love of my life

(Bridge)

It takes an uncommon love

To survive this kind of life

I'll count my blessings from above

If you agree to be my wife

You know I miss you ev'ry night

And want to hold you oh-so tight

I want to feel your tender lips

And give you a great big kiss

I've got a thousand miles to go

And feel your absence in my soul

I want you to be my wife

You are the love of my life

I've got a thousand miles to go

Before I get back home to you
