One hundred miles from the ocean Millions of miles from the stars They tell me your place Is a day's drive away But it's a five second walk to the bar Why don't you write me a letter Tell me what's happening at home Are your days still in tune And on long afternoons Are you still happier on your own? I've thought about writing you a letter I've thought of all the things I could say But my vision gets blurred So it looks like my words Are just one more thing I let slip away Sometimes I think that I'm happy And grateful for the good things I've got But when the day closes in It doesn't matter what I think It's then that I know that I'm not And I'm one hundred miles from the ocean And millions of miles from the stars They tell me your place Is a day's drive away But it's a five second walk to the bar
