3000 Miles |
| My name is robert wilson |
| I’m from eau claire, wisconsin |
| I’ve been living out of a |
| Suitcase now for fourteen days… |
| I walked the boulevard in hollywood |
| I caught a vegas show that was no good -- |
| Met a dancer there that starred in a broadway play |
| But it’s a lonely world from this greyhound |
| Believe me, I’ve been here fourteen days |
| Three thousand miles |
| I’ve been here fourteen days |
| Three thousand miles… |
| Now twenty-one is as good a guess as any age that I’d confess to |
| Let’s just say I’m old enough to get away |
| Back in school, I found the only written truth |
| On bathroom stalls and telephone booths |
| I studied awhile, but college got in my way |
| I’ve learned much more from the back of this greyhound |
| Believe me, I’ve been here fourteen days |
| Three thousand miles |
| I’ve come a long, long way |
| Three thousand miles… |
| Have you seen? |
| The world outside is turning -- |
| And it’s yours -- |
| We were put here for the learning |
| People talk to themselves on greyhounds |
| Even the driver strains to hear |
| They tell the same forgotten story -- |
| Will it fall on forgetful ears? |
| Down in houston on comes this woman |
| With two kids and a bottle of booze |
| And she cracked them both like match heads |
| Whenever they ventured too close to her fuse |
| And I sat with a girl from boston |
| Playing cards for cigarettes |
| I lost her name with the poker game |
| But her name I will never forget -- |
| You never forget the view from these windows |
| Believe me, I’ve been here fourteen days… |
| Three thousand miles |
| I’ve come a long, long way |
| Three thousand miles… |
