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...
