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 chipped fingernail polish

She always wished that she can 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 back seat 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



Moon was full the stars were smiling

God has a funny sense of timing

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

Hey yeah
