Hey, hey, Carla It's a long way to Missouri From this highway East of Roanoke We had a moment That felt like summer Now in slumber I can see your smile We drive for miles Through corporate Ohio Rest stops in West Virginia Traffic in Washington DC But of all the scenes that I see Played out this window to the left of me The thought of you it shines The band plays on, I keep the time We play in the night time Awake before sunrise Wipe the sleep from my eyes Coffee my best friend You dance between classes Complete difficult assignments Wonder where the time went Out drinking with your friends We see a lot of beauty Some becomes ordinary Mountains, and canyons, and prairies Sunset over Chesapeake Bay Dear, dear Carla It's only that I'm askin' Make time more easy for the passin' If I knew I would see you again Of all the beauty that I see Out this window to the left of me The thought of you it shines The band plays on, I keep the time The time is marked, between the lines Hmmm... I keep the time
