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 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 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, the face of a 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. Sweet baby girl, she found a 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.
