Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your old man got mad when I told him we were leavin'
He cursed and he raged and he swore the ceiling
He called you his child, said, "Honey, get wise to his game"
He'll get you in trouble, I know it, those bums are all the same
There's a Greyhound outside in the lane, it's waitin' for us
So tell him, "Goodbye," we gotta go west on that bus
[Verse 2]
And it' all over now
Don't you worry no more
Gonna go west to the sea
The Greyhound is swayin'
And the radio's playin'
Some blues for baby and me
And the highway looks like it never did
Lord, it looks so sweet and so free
And I can't forget that trip to the west
Singin' blues for baby and me
[Verse 3]
Saw your hands tremblin', your eyes opened in surprise
It's ninety in the shade, babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky
I called you my child, said, "Honey, now this is our game"
There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again
There's a Greyhound outside in the lane, it's waitin' for us
So tell him, "Goodbye", we gotta go west on that bus
[Verse 4]
And it' all over now
Don't you worry no more
We're gonna go west to the sea
The Greyhound is swayin'
And the radio's playin'
Some blues for baby and me
And the highway looks like it never did
Lord, it looks so sweet and so free
And I can't forget that trip to the west
Singin' blues for baby and me
[Verse 5]
And it' all over now
Don't you worry no more
We're gonna go west to the sea
The Greyhound is swayin'
And the radio's playin'
Some blues for baby and me
And the highway looks like it never did
Lord, it looks so sweet and so free
And I can't forget that trip to the west
Singin' blues for baby and me
