She wore a dress
with cherries on it
Going somewhere
where she'd be wanted
In a town this small
All they do is talk
No wedding ring
chipped fingernail polish
She always wished that
she could go to college
But some dreams fade
They just slip away
She started to show
A few months ago
And she had to go
that's how
she wound up
On the backseat of
a Greyhound bus
Head hung down
with the windows up
Staring at the
rest of her life
She never thought
this would be the place
Where she would
find her saving grace
But she fell in love
she fell in love
On the backseat
of a Greyhound bus
Oh yeah
yeah
The moon was full
the stars were smilin
God has a funny sense
of timin the baby came
on the interstate
Somewhere between
Jackson and Memphis
She finally found what
she had been missin
She cried and laughed
While the red
lights flashed
Sweet baby girl
She looked into
the face of a new
The face of a brand
new world
On the backseat
of a Greyhound bus
Heart so full that
it could bust
Staring at the
rest of her life
She never thought
this would be the place
Where she would
find her saving grace
But she fell in love
she fell in love
On the backseat of a
Greyhound bus
Sweet baby girl
she found a
brand new world
On the backseat
of a Greyhound bus
Heart so full that
it could bust
Staring at the
rest of her life
She never thought
this would be the place
Where she would
find her saving grace
But she fell in love
she fell in love
On the backseat of a
Greyhound bus
She wore a dress
with cherries on it
Going somewhere
where she'd be wanted
Hey yeah
Oh yeah
Hoh oh yeah
