A Mile Away

 Bob, do you have a wife
 Do you have a happy life
 Doesn't it seem empty without me
 Seem like things just aren't the way they oughta be
 But you never call me, you never called me
 I was just about a mile away

 Bob, do you think of me
 Sometimes it seems like it just can't be
 I drank coffee all day in some stupid café
 In front of that hotel where you were supposed to stay
 I look so smart that my brain got sore
 I'm the lonesome hippie hobo you've been searching for
 But you never found me, you never found me
 I was just about a mile away

 Every time I see you you're so far away
 A speck on the horizon as I watch you play
 You never heard what I was ready to say
 You never asked me, you never asked me
 I was just about a mile away

 But you never found me, you never found me
 I was just about a mile away
