She wore a dress with cherries on it

Goin 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

And thats how she wound up

On the backseat of a greyhound bus

Head on 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 where 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 the 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

Oh yeah.....yeah.....

Hey yeah oh...
