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 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...
