Detroit, L.A.,Boston, San Francisco,
first time over the ocean on a plane
a billion stars below me lay,
circle slowly JFK,
so much there to see inside of a week
they came looking for something new
try to press it flat inside of a few days
Old Dominion Saturday, Arlington’s eternal flame
Sunday tour Niagara Falls in the mist.
Monday I’ll be heading south
New Orleans the Cajun sound
Tuesday’s Tupelo Elvis’s home . . .
try to press it flat inside of a few days
what a wonderful stay,
on a mule Grand Canyon ride on Wednesday,
hope to get to Denver in a day Friday
ride to Washington, in the glacial mountain sun
hop a train for Canada to the east
they came looking for something new
try to press it flat inside of a few days
what a wonderful stay.
