lyrics
Verse 1:
I saw her at a Greyhound station on a cold night in Cincinnati
I was changing buses, comin' from Columbus, runnin' all the way to Cali
With nothin' in my pocket but a dollar and a dream, and a half of a Xany
I almost missed the bus when it was time to go 'cause I was thinkin' how I want her so badly
Walkin' down the aisle most the seats were full, before I even said a word
We locked eyes and even lost the key too, 'till she told me to sit down next to her
Hook:
(My Greyhound love)
We were both runnin' from somethin' that we knew we couldn't get away from
(My Greyhound love)
She was my only break from the pain and everything that I was so ashamed of
(My Greyhound love)
And even though it's just a couple of days, I'll remember you the rest of my life
(My Greyhound love)
So for now, lay your head on my shoulder and I'll wake you at the end of the night
(My Greyhound love)
Verse 2:
She was on her way to Colorado and her soul was as lost as mine
So I wanted to follow her but I knew it couldn't happen, wishin' I could slow down the time
We got a one-way ticket to heartbreak and sickness but the highway to hell's so nice
Wavin' to our troubles through the window as we ride and we don't even have to think twice
By day two we were closer than ever
I told her everything I could, nobody knew me better
She made me promise that I'd never forget her
and so I wrote this song, now she's forever...
(Hook)
Verse 3:
Wake up my love to Texas's sun
I'm wondering if we never had done
all that we did, would I still be runnin'?
Or would I give up and just head back where I'm from?
Caught up in my negative thoughts
and what happened next, I'm still regrettin' a lot
Pulled up in Dallas, the police were waitin'
Arrested for a warrant, no need for chasin'
They had that element of surprise
When they grabbed me by the arm, I was lost in her eyes
I didn't get her number
and 'till this day I'm still dreamin' of her
(Hook)
Outro:
"You say it's puppy love, we say it's full grown
You say it's puppy love, we say it's full grown"
