1,000 Feet Ahead

This tune was a lot of fun to record, It was the only one where I had to ask Bernard to play a different drum beat than the one he used. He gave me a sort of "you're telling ME what to play?!?" look, and then nailed it right away. Every time I hear the drums, I have to smile, because it sounds so happy.

A thousand feet ahead, that's where my baby stays A thousand feet ahead, that's where my baby stays I broke her heart, I’ve gotta win her back some day You know I’m never lonely, You know I never cry, You know I only miss her On days that end with why A thousand feet ahead, that's where my baby stays I broke her heart, I’ve gotta win her back some day You know she used to love me But I would treat her mean She's got a brand new man Who treats her like a queen A thousand feet ahead, that's where my baby stays I broke her heart, I’ve gotta win her back some day You know I had my fun I used to play around But since she left me flat Everything's been staying down A thousand feet ahead, that's where my baby stays I broke her heart, I’ve gotta win her back some day
