A Thousand Miles (3:57)
From Be Not Nobody and 102 other releases
“A Thousand Miles” is the first single from the album “Be Not Nobody”. Some older live recordings, and a tape demo recording are named as “Interlude” with slightly different lyrics.
The song features prominently in the 2004 movie White Chicks, starring Shawn and Marlon Wayans as FBI agents who go undercover as white girls. Speaking with Songfacts about its use in the film in a 2011 interview, Carlton said: “I thought it was hilarious. Those guys are really nice, too. I ran into them backstage or something, and they asked me if they could use it. They’re like fans, they’re so cute. But the scene that was in was hilarious.”

Vanessa Carlton – A Thousand Miles
Send ‘A Thousand Miles’ Ringtone to Cell
Making my way downtown, walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
