She wore a dress with cherries on it
Going somewhere where shed be wanted
In 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, thats 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
The 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 had been missin
She cried and laughed while 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
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
Sweet baby girl, she found a brand new world
She wore a dress with cherries on it
Going somewhere where shed be wanted
