Your old man got mad when I told him we were leaving  He cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceiling  He called you his child, said honey get wise to his game  He'll get you in trouble I know it, those bums are all the same  There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us  So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus    And it's all over now  Don't you worry no more  Gonna go west to the sea  The greyhound is swaying  And the radio is playing  Some blues for baby and me    And the highway looks like it never did  Lord it looks so sweet and so free  And I can't forget that trip to the west  Singing blues for baby and me    Saw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surprise  It's ninety in the shade babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky  I called you my child, said honey now this is our game  There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again  There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us  So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus
