Letter to a Pretty Girl |
| Hey, hey, Carla |
| It’s a long way to Missouri |
| From this highway |
| East of Roanoke |
| We had a moment |
| That felt like summer |
| Now in slumber |
| I can see your smile |
| We drive for miles |
| Through corporate Ohio |
| Rest stops in West Virginia |
| Traffic in Washington DC |
| But of all the scenes that I see |
| Played out this window to the left of me |
| The thought of you it shines |
| The band plays on, I keep the time |
| We play in the night time |
| Awake before sunrise |
| Wipe the sleep from my eyes |
| Coffee my best friend |
| You dance between classes |
| Complete difficult assignments |
| Wonder where the time went |
| Out drinking with your friends |
| We see a lot of beauty |
| Some becomes ordinary |
| Mountains, and canyons, and prairies |
| Sunset over Chesapeake Bay |
| Dear, dear Carla |
| It’s only that I’m askin' |
| Make time more easy for the passin' |
| If I knew I would see you again |
| Of all the beauty that I see |
| Out this window to the left of me |
| The thought of you it shines |
| The band plays on, I keep the time |
| The time is marked, between the lines |
| Hmmm… I keep the time |
