Lyrics
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 face 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..
