Hours into days
Highways upon country roads all the way
Nonstop
It was Cross Country on the Hound
Travelling from the East Coast to the West Coast
However, rest stops made along the way
There were Bridges crossed overlooking the bays
But I will be travelling with no Hotel enroute to stay
Cities after cities in Downtown
Oh that Hound bus knows how to get around
Small Towns with citizens in their wave
Hello America, thanks for the encouragement all the way
The Rocky Mountains that marveled me
It was a spectacular sight to see
The other mountain formations reminded me of the Old Western movies
A thought that came to mind, β€œHang Them High”
A Navaho Indian sitting on a horse waved to our Hound Bus when we passed by
He captured my heart and I knew I got in touch with America
But the Indian was friendly to the tee
It was definitely the key
I even travelled the Seven Hills
Up in Distance and down in descending
It seemed those hills had no ending
Mind you, I have travelled the Hound Bus to the West Coast 4 times
It was a 4 days journey each way
Yet spend 7 days in Hotel stays
So let me applaud that Hound Bus
Countryside admired
Yet the whole time I felt inspired
The USA was my getaway
But I am certainly happy to say
My journey was simply ok.
