Steve Earle - Continental Trailways Blues lyrics
[Steve Earle - Continental Trailways Blues lyrics]
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 sittin' in the station
Sick and tired of waitin'
Continental Trailways blues
Well rollin' out for Houston
Man we're finally rollin' 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 rollin' into Sulphur
Continental Trailways blues
Now, we're rollin' into Houston
Don't them city lights look fine
Headed for the pay phone
Hangin' onto my last dime
Well, she says she's got a new
Man, Son, it's been a long, long time
Now I was standin' by the highway with
The rain runnin' through my shoes
With the sittin' by the road side wishin'
I was inside Continental Trailways blues
I got the wishin' I was
Downtown waitin' on a Greyhound
Continental Trailways blues
