Midnight Bus

Hitting down the road at night

Landscapes are scrolling_'der moon light

Driver's puffin' stoogies

Just like he smokes the road down

The backseat's pain in the ass

The mood is as sad as an empty glass

My suitcase as a pilow

I started my trip high to end it low

And I keep on going

Look for an happy ending

That baby can't stop crying

 Smells_like fat lady sweating

Time keep on flying

Wonder how a journey can be this trying

An old country song beating in my heart

from dusk on, must've taken all night

woke up with a start, stiff neck, drool on my cheek

that smelt like whiskey and a need to take a leak

I could tell it was over, she wouldn't let me hold her

as she got older, she only shoved me

to my face, in the back, but mostly off her

said to stay for dinner, but I refused her offer

Would like to think she forgot she loved me

or maybe she didn't, we could never agree

tried to keep me under the lock and key of jealousy

but I broke them chains, had to set myself free

down the road with a load on my mind

I'm in for a long ride, against the tide

on my way to alabama, half through Montana

the only thing in front of me is the road and time

and I'll be damned if I can't get this seat to recline

Chorus :

my legs are cramped and I can't wait to get out of the midnight bus

her spirit haunts me and I can't sleep none as long I'm on the midnight bus

can't see in darkness, I'm going blind the whole time I'm on the midnight bus

hit the road, hold out hope that I'll forget I'm on the midnight bus

my legs are cramped and I can't wait to get out of the midnight bus

her spirit haunts me and I can't sleep none as long I'm on the midnight bus

can't see in darkness, I'm going blind the whole time I'm on the midnight bus

hit the road, hold out hope

that I'll forget I'm on

the midnight....bus
