The Distance Between You And Me

(Dwight Yoakam) Take a rock, tie a rope Throw it down in the sea Let if 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 The distance between you and me Take a map of the world And measure with both 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 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 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 The distance between you and me
