She wore a dress with cherries on it
 Going somewhere where she'd be wanted
 In a town this small all they do is talk
 No wedding ring, chipped fingernail polish
 She always wished that she could go to college
 But some dreams fade, they just slip away
 She started to show a few months ago
 And she had to go, that's how she wound up
 Chorus 1
 On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
 Head hung down with the windows up
 Staring at the rest of her life
 She never thought this would be the place
 Where she would find her saving grace
 But she fell in love, she fell in love
 On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
 The moon was full, the stars were smilin'
 God has a funny sense of timin'
 The baby came on the interstate
 Somewhere between Jackson and Memphis
 She finally found what she had been missin'
 She cried and laughed while the red lights flashed
 Sweet baby girl, she looked into the face of a new
 The face of a brand new world
 Chorus 2
 On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
 Heart so full that it could burst
 Staring at the rest of her life
 She never thought this would be the place
 Where she would find her saving grace
 But she fell in love, she fell in love
 On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
 Sweet baby girl, she found a brand new world
 Repeat Chorus 2
 She wore a dress with cherries on it
 Going somewhere where she'd be wanted
