Two Weeks From Home

The sun came up on the plains of Colorado The driver told us that our next stop would be Pueblo My God, it's McDonalds for breakfast yet again No wonder all these night trips always feel the same It was the 6.30 bus from Dallas through to Denver Argued religion with a missionary from Wichita Albuquerque at 2 AM is a night to remember I'm still two weeks from home, just dying to get back there Well Fred was only there to avoid doing service Though Holland was his home going back made him nervous He got a study grant at the Uni up in Boulder Do enough to make the grade give the Army the cold shoulder Got a bus to catch to Salt Lake in the morning I've got a wake up call, 'cos it's an 8.30 boarding There's snow on the Rockies and it sure looks a picture I'm still two weeks from home, just dying to get back there. Flew from London to Miami, been to Houston, New Orleans And the sunset over Utah was a sight to be seen Read the story of the Mormons on the walls of Temple Square Walked the streets of San Francisco, saw some fine people there Stopped at Santa Barbara beach 'cos it sure looked nice But if I don't make LAX, I might pay the price Read the news in the paper and it's given me a scare I'm still two weeks from home, just dying to get back there
