Countin' the hours, countin' the days till I'll be back in your arms to stay
I left Lake Charles on 71 and I drove the Highway 10
Took a right at a second light and I turn back right again
Drove till I came to the junction 6 where it turned into 501
Stopped for gas at the Cumberland pa** and again in Burlington
Countin' the hours, countin' the days till I'll be back in your arms to stay.
Now out of Burlington I took old 70 headed west
I found me a picnic table and stretched out and I took a rest
I drove on across Montana dam till I came to Lake Wahoo
Took the ferry to the other side I was a coming home to you
Countin' the hours, countin' the days till I'll be back in your arms to stay.
Countin' the hours, countin' the days till I'll be back in your arms to stay...
