3000 Miles Away

3000 Miles Away
 by Jesse Butterworth and Chad Reisser
 New Orleans could not find the groove
 In Nashville the grass did not seem blue
 And Denver did not seem more than three feet high
 The Empire did not scrape the sky
 And the White House seemed gray
 When you're 3000 miles away
 In Boston there was no common ground
 And Long Island did not make a sound
 Niagara rises and Old Faithful falls
 At Camden they did not play ball
 But who cares if they play
 When you're 3000 miles away
 Your absence changes me and everything seems so wrong
 But with no sense of irony I write you this sweet love song today
 3000 miles away
 Chicago could not muster a breeze
 And there was a blizzard in The Keys
 New England's charms were wasted on these eyes
 I fear it came as no surprise
 Because it's just another day
 When you're 3000 miles away
 REPEAT Distance is my tutor
 So well he's teaching me
 In the education of appreciation
 And I got my PH.D.
 In Georgia you're all that's on my mind
 In Cape Cod the ocean was untied
 And the Motor City threw a rod
 And now I'm praying to you God
 Take me home to that face
 3000 miles away
