When I was seventeen and running wild and free
Everything ahead was so far in the distance
My father said to me son you gotta be 
A good man but always keep your distance

I grew up through my changes met my share of angels
With open hearts so ready to close the distance
Broken hearts and unfilled dreams too many empty one night scenes
But through it all I always kept my distance

So many endless nights where I swear I never slept
So many miles behind me in the distance
I left her on her front porch with a promise never kept
And all she saw was my tail lights in the distance

Well you find yourself pushing forty and working hard to make ends meet
And everything you come across is just one more thing to beat
And there ain't no one to help you make it to the other side
Because you know that everyone out there will just take you for a ride

If you never look them in the eyes and keep your cards close to your vest
You'll never find the love that we all need
Keep your heart closed to this hard old world 
You'll have your self and nothing else but some distance

So many endless nights I swear I never slept
So many miles behind me in the distance
I left her on her front porch with a promise never kept
And all I had was my damn distance 

If I had a son I'd say boy you gotta be
A good man and always close the distance
