"Timbuktu" lyrics

One night on the East Coast water
Fell in love with a working man's daughter
Dog-eyed from the second I saw her
She was just like sunshine after rain
Distance makes a heart grow fonder
But I hate when I'm way down yonder
That's why every night I call her
Just to say I love you once again
Just to say I love you

From New York to Timbuktu
All roads lead right back to you
Wherever my feet are
I'll never be too far
LA or out in the sticks
I'd drive all night to get my fix
Wherever my feet are
I'll never be too far
To get back to where you are

Hell it doesn't even make a dent
When it makes I gotta go again
She knows the miles I'd spend
It ain't a marathon baby, it's a sprint
Busting my ass up 66
I'll count down every inch
Till I can say I love you

From New York to Timbuktu
All roads lead right back to you
Wherever my feet are
I'll never be too far
LA or out in the sticks
I'd drive all night to get my fix
Wherever my feet are
I'll never be too far
To get back to where you are

From Mexico to the Moon
The furtherst star to Malibu
From heaven down to Tokyo
It doesn't matter where I go
I'd learn to fly and steal a plane
And if I crashed, I'd hitch a train
And if that train runs off the tracks
I promise you I'll make it back

From New York to Timbuktu
All roads lead right back to you
Wherever my feet are
I'll never be too far
LA or out in the sticks
I'd drive all night to get my fix
Wherever my feet are
I'll never be too far
To get back to where you are
