Half a Million Miles from Home

Sitting by a lonely Kansas road

A car goes rushing by

At the rate of one an hour

Want a lift into the nearest town

And judging by the sky

We're heading for a shower

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home

Hey there, man

Don't step upon the gas

There's room enough inside

And I'm very tired of walking

I don't wanna do you any harm

I just wanna get a ride

And I'm very good at talking

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home

Now the telegraph begins to hum

There's a message on the wire

An electric conversation

Well, ain't that life

I'm saying to myself

There's an awful lot of words

But there's no communication

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home
