ellis paul - 3,000 miles كلمات أغنية

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…
