Your old man got mad

When I told him we were leaving

He cursed and he raged

And he swore at 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 waiting for us

So tell him goodbye

We gotta go west on that bus

And it's all over now

Don't you worry no more

Gonna go west to the sea

The Greyhound is swaying

And the radio's playing

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

Singing blues for baby and me

Saw your hands trembling

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 waiting for us

So tell him goodbye

We gotta go west on that bus

And it's all over now

Don't you worry no more

We're gonna go west to the sea

The Greyhound is swaying

And the radio's playing

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

Singing blues for baby and me

And it's all over now

Don't you worry no more

We're gonna go west to the sea

The Greyhound is swaying

And the radio's playing

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

Singing blues for baby and me
