All day long you watch them pass by
In their long black coats in their shirts and ties
And they look like kings from some old story you've been told
You burn for the dreams their kingdom might hold
Breaking the distance ain't so easy to do
You'll search your soul for the grace to see you
You'll dream your dream's boy, they might come true
Breaking the distance ain't easy to do
Your baby's at home, she's fast asleep by now
You long to be with her, you just can't see how
You've got miles to go before you sleep
You've got bills to pay, and you've got promises to keep
Breaking the distance ain't so easy to do
You'll search your soul for the grace to see you through
You'll dream your dream's boy, they might come true
But breaking the distance ain't easy to do
Easy to do
Some guys are born 'neath a gold sunrise
Others stand in the shadows every day of their lives
You get home late, the devil's in your easy chair
And you walk the floor all night long wishin' he'd disappear
The cold burn of comfort, the ringing in your head
Morning's gonna come, and you'll do it all over again
Breaking the distance ain't so easy to do
You'll search your soul for the grace to see you through
You'll dream your dream's boy, they might come true
But breaking the distance ain't easy to do
Easy
