My name is Robert Wilson, I'm from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I've been living out of a suitcase now for 14 days. I walked the boulevard in Hollywood, I caught a Vegas soul that was no good, met a dancer there who starred in a Broadway play, but it's a lonely world from this crowd, don't believe me, I've been here 14 days. 3,000 miles, I've come a long, long way, 3,000 miles, now 21, that's as good a guess as any age that I'd confessed to, let's just say I'm old enough to get away. Back in school I found the only written truth about herb stalls and telephone booths, I studied a while but college got in my head, I've learned much more from the back of this greyhound, don't believe me, I've been here 14 days. 3,000 miles, I've come a long, long way, 3,000 miles, have you seen all the world outside it's turning, and it's yours, and we were put here for the learning, people talk to themselves on greyhounds, even the driver's strange to hear, they tell the same forgotten story, will it fall unforgivably, 3,000 miles, I've come a long, long way, 3,000 miles, down in Houston on comes a woman with two kids and a bottle of beer, and she cracked them both like match heads whenever they ventured too close to her fuse, and I sat with a girl from Boston, I was playing cards for cigarettes, I lost her name at the poker game, though her face I will never forget, you'll never forget the view out these windows, don't believe me, I've been here 14 days, 3,000 miles, I've come a long, long way, 3,000 miles. I've come a long, long way, 3,000 miles, I've come a long, long way, 3,000 miles, I've come a long, long way, 3,000 miles, I've come a long, long way, 3,000 miles, 3,000 miles. This song is about Galileo, and I was wondering if he was a man of faith, you know, so I wrote this song for him, it's called The Galileo Prayer.
