Continental Trailways Blues

(الألبوم: Early Tracks - 1987)

Well, sitting in the depot long before the break of day
I just bought my ticket, Lord I hope the bus ain't late
I'll have a cup of coffee and a sandwich from the microwave

Now I'm gonna see my baby if it's the last thing I ever do
Got this sitting in the station sick and tired of waiting
Continental Trailways blues

Well rolling out for Houston, man we're finally rolling now
Try to get some sleep and listen to that highway sound
I guess we must have stopped in every single little town
Now I've bought myself a copy of the Natchez Mississippi News
With the just pulled out of Lake Charles rolling into Sulphur
Continental Trailways blues

Now, we're rolling into Houston, don't them city lights look fine
Headed for the pay phone, hanging onto my last dime
Well, she says she's got a new man, Son, it's been a long, long time

Now I was standing by the highway with the rain running through my shoes
With the sitting by the road side wishing I was inside Continental Trailways blues
I got the wishing I was downtown waiting on a Greyhound
Continental Trailways blues
