The Distance Between You and Me - Dwight Yoakam

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

The distance between you and me

Yeah, the distance between you and me

Take a map of the world

And measure with your hands

All of the miles

Across all of the land

Write it down, add it up

And 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 heavens

Well that ain’t half as high

As the distance between you and me

As the distance between you and me
