3,000 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...
