Countin' the Hours, Countin' the Days Songtext
von Bobby Bare

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 six where it runs into 501
Stopped for gas at the Cumberland pass and again in Burlington

Countin' the hours, countin' the days
Till I′ll be back, in your arms to stay


But out of Burlington, I took ol′ 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
Countin' the hours, countin' the days
Till I′ll be back
