She wore a dress with cherries on it
going somewhere where she'd be wanted
a town this small, all they do is talk
no wedding ring cheap fingernailpolish
she always wished she could go to college
but if 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 on lap 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
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'd been missing
she cried and laughed when the red lights flashed
sweet baby girl she looked into the face of a new
brand new world

on the backseat of a greyhound bus,
heart so full that it could bust.
starin' at the rest of her life.
she never thought this would be the place,
where she would find her savin' 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,
To fade.
