Text: Bobby Bare. Countin' The Hours Countin' The Days.

Coutin' the hours countin' the days till I'll be back in your arms to stay
I left Lake Charleston on 72 and I drove the Highway 10
Took a ride at a second light and I turn back right again
Drove till I came to the junction 6 went to the transit 5-0-1
Stopped for gas at the Cumberland pass and dinned in Burlington
Coutin' the hours countin' the days till I'll be back in your arms to stay
[ guitar ]
Now out of Burlington I took old 70 headed west
I found me a picnic table and stratched out and I took a rest
I drove on across Montana dam till I came to Lake Awhoo

Took the prairie to the other side I was a coming home to you
Coutin' the hours countin' the days till I'll be back in your arms to stay
Coutin' the hours countin' the days till I'll be back in your arms to stay
