Wellsittin in the depot long before the break of day
I just bought my ticketLord I hope the bus ain t late
I ll have a cup of coffee and a sandwich from the microwave

Now I m gonna see my baby if it s the last thing I ever do
Got this sittin in the station sick and tired of waitin
Continental Trailways blues

Well rollin out for Houstonman we re finally rollin now
Try to get some sleep and listen to that highway sound
I guess we must have stopped in every single little town
Now I ve bought myself a copy of the Natchez Mississippi News
With the just pulled out of Lake Charles rollin into Sulphur
Continental Trailways blues

Nowwe re rollin into Houstondon t them city lights look fine
Headed for the pay phonehangin onto my last dime
Wellshe says she s got a new manSonit s been a longlong time

Now I was standin by the highway with the rain runnin through my shoes
With the sittin by the road side wishin I was inside Continental Trailways blues
I got the wishin I was downtown waitin on a Greyhound
Continental Trailways blues
