Dwight Yoakam › Lyrics › The Distance Between You and Me

Take a rock tie a rope throw it down in the sea
Let it fall to the bottom nobody knows how deep
Stare real hard through the water and you might just perceive
Distance between you and me
Yeah, the distance between you and me

Take a map of the world and measure with your hand
All of the miles you across all of the land
Write it down add it up you might understand
About the distance between you and me
Yeah, the distance between you and me

I lie awake and hear you breathing
Only inches from me in this bed
Not much space but it's all that we needed
To live alone now that our love is dead

I lie awake and hear you breathing
Only inches from me in this bed
Not much space but it's all that we needed
To live alone now that our love is dead

Climb the earth's tallest mountain to where it reaches the sky
Take a gun fire a bullet straight up out of sight
Where it stops in the heaven well that ain't half as high
As the distance between you and me
Yeah, the distance between you and me
