2,000 Miles Ago Lyrics

I won't apologize

For lettin' the flowers in your garden die

I've traveled roads both low and high

Since the mountain last seen snow

Regret to me is nothin' new

I just go on livin' like I do

And the memory of me and you

Is back 2,000 miles ago

And I've held the Bible in my hand

Beggin' the Lord to understand

And to guide me as I go across this land

And have some pity on a poor vagabond man

I seen the forests burn and the rivers swell

And my reflection look like hell

In the mirror of a cheap hotel

When I had nowhere's else to go

I got a bellyful of my mistakes

2,000 miles can't quite erase

But don't listen for the steps that I take

Outside of your window

And I've held the Bible in my hand

Beggin' the Lord to understand

And to guide me as I go across this land

And have some mercy on a poor vagabond man
