It Feels Like 5000 Miles
Words and Music by Robert Lane

Go explore the grounds the local people said
Maybe they would help to clear your head
But anything I’m round any place I go
Just makes it worse I guess they’re not to know

I miss my wife and my daughter
I miss the way they don’t do what I say
I miss my wife and my daughter
How long’s it been
Since I was seen
It feels like 5000 miles

I can overhear the simple facts of life
As passers-by discuss their trouble and strife
At least they have near everything they need
What a foolish life I’ve chosen to lead

I miss my wife and my daughter
I miss the way they don’t do what I say
I miss my wife and my daughter
How long’s it been
Since I was seen
It feels like 5000 miles

These trees are green
The greenest I’ve ever seen
But my favourite colour is black
Flowers don’t come close
To the girls I miss the most
Oh I’m begging you please to take me back
Take me back

I miss my wife and my daughter
I miss the way they don’t do what I say
I miss my wife and my daughter
How longs it been
Since I was seen
It feels like 5000 miles

How long’s it been
It feels like 5000 miles
