It's Wednesday, April 2, 1997, at 12:00 PM
I took a Greyhound bus to Des Moines, Iowa
It was a six-hour profanity demon hellride
At 6:00 PM, the Greyhound bus arrived at the Des Moines bus station
Two of my music fans picked me up and drove me to Fort Dodge, Iowa

At 2:00 PM on Friday, April 4, 1997, I went on a radio show joyride
I whipped out my Technics KN3000 keyboard and sung four rock songs on 88.1 KICB
At 6:30 PM, I rode with my friends to Knights of Columbus for sound checking
At 9:30 PM, I got up on stage and sung twenty rock songs in front of 200 rock fans

At 11:20 AM on Saturday, April 5, 1997, I caught the Greyhound bus to Chicago, Illinois
The Greyhound bus left Des Moines, Iowa at 11:30 AM
It was an eight-hour profanity demon hellride without music
At 7:30 PM, the Greyhound bus arrived at the Chicago bus station
I then got off the intercity bus and yelled like a stupid fool

Kinkos, it's the new way to office
From out of the shadows into the light
Distance brought closer
The name that only one gets in honor
Houndman Cometh
How did I arrive at that name you ask?
It came directly from the Greyhound Bus Organization
It was the bus company’s creation
My involvement in the Greyhound ways than to now
The thought back oh wow
My Greyhound bus arrival with flair
The commitment with care
No joke
Devotion of Greyhound in positive words I spoke
Houndman being the honor
Cometh in continuing arriving
The love for the Grayhound Trademark Dog
The stretch and reach being no bones about it
Houndman Cometh has become part of me
It shines for all the world to see
Houndman Cometh now and beyond
Greyhound will always have me to look upon
Houndman Cometh more than just a name
I am the Greyhound bus bull’s eye that will always remain.
