You don't lose amps in a wire, you probably mean voltage drop. The current (amps) going in one end of a wire is the same going out the other end. The voltage drop is the current times the resistance of the wire. You can get the resistance from online tables based on wire size. Use 4000 ft, since you have drop in both directions. If this were for a 120V extension code for example, if you had a large enough wire that you had 2V of drop in 2000ft, you would have 116V at the other end, since 2V affects each conductor.
2000ft is a really long way to go, depending on what you are doing.

Well first you have more factors than just the length of wire but i think that this "voltage " drop calculator will help you!
