Lyrics Bus Station - Tom Russell feat. Nanci Griffith

Bus station, at sun-up, lookin' for a new place to go
He sips his coffee, and he pulls at his ring
And he thinks of how she looked years ago

And she curls up with a blanket, in a yellow, plastic seat
He touches her, as she's lookin' out the window
At an empty morning street

But he musta had a screw loose in his head
End up like this after all he said
He lies to her, she kisses him, gettin' tired of love

Bus station, at sun-up, she reads the ticket in her hand
It's a different name for the same old town
And this is not the life they had planned

And so he tries to tell her: won't be like all the times before
It's a different town, with a brand new start
And he's gonna work a whole lot more

But he musta had a screw loose in his head
End up like this after all he said
He lies to her, she kisses him, gettin' tired of love

Bus station, at sun-up, one more hour left to blow
He touches her, she'd like to leave
No place left to go

She musta had a screw loose in her head
How can she believe all the lies he said
She lies to him, he kisses her, gettin' tired of love

And they curl up with a blanket, way back in that yellow bus
She touches him, as he's starin' out the window
No turning back what's been left and lost

Bus station, at sun-down, need a place to stay the nite
It's a different town, with a brand new start
Never meant to leave for morning light

They musta had a screw loose in their head
To end up like this since they'd first met
He kisses her, she cuddles him, gettin' tired of love
Gettin' tired of love
Gettin' tired of love.
