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       CHORUS   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 CHORUS       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      © 2002 Brentwood - Benson Music Publishing
