BUS STATION
By Dave Alvin as performed by Tom Russel on Modern Art
C Am C Am
Bus station, at sun-up, lookin for a new, place to go
C Am
He sips his coffie, and he pulls his ring,
F G
and thinks of how she looked years ago
C Am C Am
And she curls up, with a blanket, in a yellow, plastic seat
C Am
He touches her, and she looks out the window,
F G
at an empty morning street
Chorus:
Am F C
Well, he musta had a screw loose, in his head
Am F C
To end up like this after all he said
F C F G C
He lies to her, she kisses him, gettin tired of love
Bus station, at sun-up, she reads the ticket, in her hand
Its a different name, for the same old town, and this aint the life
that they had planned
And so he tries to tell her, it wont be like the, times before
Its a different town, and a brand new start, and hes gonna work a whole lot more.
Chorus
Bus station, at sun-up, another hour, left to blow
He touches her, but shed like to leave,
and theres no place left to go
Chorus
Am F C
Well, she musta had a screw loose, in her head
Am F C
How could she believe all the things he said
F C F G C
She lies to him, he kisses her, gettin tired of love
Am F C Am F
Gettin tired of love, gettin tired of love
