Estimated time of arrival

nine-thirty 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

eye can see

Spend half my life in airports

doin' crosswords

or attemptin' to sleep

and when the bar is open

then you'll often find me

warmin' a seat

I never find a place

where I can stay

I'd rather be a

thousand miles away

thousand miles away

Workin' 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 goin' 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

try'na sit on the fence

Right now I got no time

for yesterday

yesterday's a

thousand miles away

thousand miles away

thousand miles away

What was that

that you were try'na say

I guess I was a

thousand miles away...

hey-hey-hey

Hey-hey-hey...

hey... hey

sing it again...

sing it again...

sing it again...

sing it again...
