(verse 1)
She wore a dress with cherries on it,
Going somewhere where she'd be wanted,
A town this small, all they do is talk,
No wedding ring She had finger nail polish,
She always dreamed that she'd go to college,
But some dreams fade, they just slip away,
She started to show A few months ago and she had to go,
That's how she wound up,
(chorus)
On the backseat of a grey hound bus,
Head on down with the windows up,
Staring at the rest of her life-ife,
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 grey hound bus,
ho hoa yeah yeah,
(verse 2)
Moon was full stars were 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 missing,
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,
(chorus)
On the backseat of a grey hound bus,
Heart's so full that it could bust,
Staring at the rest of her life-ife,
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 grey hound bus,
(bridge)
na na na na Ah,
Sweet baby girl She found a brand new world,
(chorus)
On the backseat of a grey hound bus,
Heart's so full that it could bust,
Staring at the rest of her life-ife,
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 grey hound bus,
She wore a dress with cherries on it,
Going somewhere where she'd be wanted,
yeah yeah yeah, na na na na,
Oh whoa yeah,
