James, Colin - 40 Light Years Lyrics






Put your feet on the dashboard baby take a ride and c'mon
There's nothing left to lose but the moon now the money's all gone
And when you get back
You get back down
Wait all night for you to come around
I'd like to get to know you but you're 40 light years away
You can come a little closer but you're 40 light years away

What you gonna do honey now that the sun's gone down
Trying to find love when you're living in a one-horse town
I've had the blues
For 14 days
Cause there's a hole in the sky and it's here to stay
I'd like to get to know you but you're 40 light years away
Want to get to know you but you're 40 light years away

You can watch 'em come and go yeah they come and go all night long
Buffalo girls, blind Willie burn the dance floor down
Way down...
Well it's a long dark road baby where you been?
I keep knocking but I can't come in
Came to get you home but you're 40 light years away
I need to get you back but you're 40 light years away
I want to get to know you but you're 40 light years away
I need to get to know you but you're 40 light years away

James, Colin 40 Light Years Comments
  1. O.... ....

    His tone sounds a little like Mark Knopfler's here.

    O.... ....

    More than 'a little' I'd say - inspired by 'Down to the waterline' perhaps?

  2. L.... ....

    L.... ....

    but hes older and younger looking

  3. L.... ....

    Great show in Halifax last night. What a tight band.

    He just gets better and better....problem with a pedal thing and he was without his guitar for a song or so.....it just showed up what I have always thought....his voice is just awesome and guitar or no guitar - stage presence and craft....amid a few laughs....goes down as my favorite......lol.... e.

  11. R.... W....

    Well I took my wife last night to see one Mr Colin James April 2nd /19 and what a show wow. As always the music left me breathless, what a show man from start to finish, The sound was great keep doing what you do...

  15. A.... R....

    Also notice during the solo you can see the pickup selector change positions between different camera angles lol

  16. A.... R....

    Reminds me of the newer Clapton material

  17. A.... N....

  18. M.... A....

    He is a treasure. Regina Rocks

  19. m.... ....

  20. F.... J....

    Smooooth …..

  21. e.... f....

    Who's that harp player ? Damn

  22. P.... W....

    That is Tulsa Sound!

  23. B.... L....

    I am hearing strong elements of JJ Cale and his proteges Clapton and Knopfler in this great piece of music. Colin has aged magnificently. Time to listen to his latest stuff.

  24. C.... M....

    Cool guitar!

  25. s.... ....

    quite good...j j cale, clapton, knopfler....

  26. m.... B....

    awesome ! ! ! thxxxx !

  27. M.... B....

    Steve Marriner on Harp....nice!

  28. D.... P....

    Loving the whole album. Been driving around Snowdonia for the last few days with it on repeat. Great stuff!

  29. T.... E....

    That is one of the most boring songs about nothing that I had ever had to hear, when it poped up as an advert in Janis Joplin mix I had on. This sound even worse in comparison.

    T.... E....

    WTF makes you think that you're interesting? You are trite and impolite. Take a hike, mtherfker ;)

    T.... E....

    This song very softly kicks hard ass. Move along

  30. B.... M....

    My ears like a lot. Nice , dancing blues. :)

  31. A.... G....

    Marry me

  32. D.... M....

    Sounds like a collaboration between Dire Straits and the Nighthawks! Awesome!Can't wait to check out more of Colin James.

    D.... M....

    That would be absolutely wicked if Mark Knopfler & James would Collaborate together..What would say to that??

    D.... M....

    When you do check out more of Colin James, I can promise you that you won't be disappointed. He's a hidden Canadian gem, and a criminally under-rated talent.

  33. E.... ....

    *SWEET ...*

  34. D.... J....

    served this fellow a burger at a local greasy spoon I was working at in the early 90s. Blues power house from way back, he was touring the Maritimes university set, came in the restaurant and asked me, what town am I in? He put in his road time for sure. A great guitarist!

  35. h.... ....

    I usually don't appreciate ads, but this came up and I'm intruiged! :)

  36. M.... M....

    AWESOME!! WOW NICE SLIVER FOX.........I"D MEET YOU 40 LIGHT YEARS OR NOT !!!! X
