Paul Ellis - 3000 Miles lyrics

Your rating:

                     

 My name is robert wilson

I'm from eau clairewisconsin.

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 meI'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 schoolI found the only written truth

On bathroom stalls and telephone booths.

I studied awhilebut college got in my way.

I've learned much more from the back of this greyhound

Believe meI've been here fourteen days.



Three thousand miles

I've come a longlong 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 meI've been here fourteen days...



Three thousand miles

I've come a longlong way

Three thousand miles...
