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 yeahyeah

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 yeahyeah

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
Oh yeahyeah

She wore a dress with cherries on it
Going somewhere where she'd be wanted
Hey yeah oh
