Song of Riding a Bus - Chin Man-Wang & Lee Ping-Huei

She wore a dress with cherries on it Goin' somewhere where she'd be wanted 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 That's how she wound up On the backseat of a Greyhound bus Head on down with the windows up Starin' 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 Hell yeah, yeah The moon was full, 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 Starin' 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 On the backseat of a Greyhound bus Heart so full that it could bust Starin' 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 She wore a dress with cherries on it Goin' somewhere where she'd be wanted Hey yeah Oh yeah Oh, oh yeah

You search your mind That's what it's there for Check all the whys' And all the wherefores' In your mind You're tall and brave Riding the crest Of a high and beautiful wave You make your movements known And where you want to be And everybody knows That's how it's got to be In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun Internally You make your own rules You'll have excuses The ones that you choose In the end You deem unsafe Riding the crest Of a high and beautiful wave You make your movements known And where you want to be And everybody knows That's how it's got to be In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun There comes a time You don't even know what's missing Some sugar to make the pill go down You need a line A push in the right direction Some sugar to make the pill go down True True to form True to pre-existing norms Truly wasted At a rave Riding the crest Of a high and beautiful wave Riding the crest Of a high and beautiful wave You make your movements known And where you want to be And everybody knows That's how it's got to be In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun
