My name is Robert Wilson, I'm from Eau Claire, Wisconsin
G C
I've been living out of a suitcase now for fourteen days

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

On bathroom stalls and telephone booths

I studied awhile, but college got in my way

Have you seen? How the world outside is turning
G F C
And it's yours, and 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 a woman
C
With two kids and a bottle of booze
G
And she cracked them both like match heads
C
Whenever they ventured too close to her fuse
G
And I sat with a girl from Boston
C
I was playing cards for cigarettes

I lost her name with the poker game
C
But her face I will never forget

You never forget the view of these windows
