C5                                         D5     
Watch the rain dripping off the station window 
F5                G5                     C5 G5 C5  
Listen to them motors they're warming up 
C5                                 D5 
Wondering just where I'll be come morning 
F5           G5                              C5 
And just forgetting all I'm about to give up 
 

C5                                        A5 
Well, I walked away from everything this evening 
F5                               G5 
Nothing was wrong, just time to roll 
       C5                                        A5 
And I pray to God she still ain't sittin there thinking 
F5                 G5                   C5 
That I'm coming back from the liquor store 
 
CHORUS 
 

G5          F5                           E5 
Hope she knows it's not that I didn't love her 
F5         G5                      A5 
Hope she don't think I've gone insane 
F5      G5                  C5         A5     
Maybe it's that I love the highway more 
F5        G5           A5 
Riding buses in the rain 
      F5              G5            C5 
Now ride a few old buses in the rain 
 
BREAK 
 

C5                                      D5 
She said by my age that I'm a little young 
F5                     G5                                   
Man and I'll tend to agree there's things that I haven't 
  C5 G5 C5 
done 
     C5                                           D5 
But she pulled that old rope a little tighter on me 
            F5        G5        F5           G5 
Yeah from livin in ditches, bars and my bridges 
F5                           G5            C5 
Just can't swing from your dead lover's tree
