BUS STATION
By Dave Alvin as performed by Tom Russel on «Modern Art»
 BCus station, at Amsun-up, loCokin’ for a new, pAmlace to go
He sipCs his coffie, and hAme pulls his ring, 
 and thinks of how sFhe looked years Gago
 And Cshe curls up, witAmh a blanket, in Ca yellow, plastiAmc seat
 He Ctouches her, and she looks oAmut the window, 
 at aFn empty morning sGtreet
Chorus:
 Well, he Ammusta had a screw looFse, in his Chead
 AmTo end up like this after aFll he sCaid
 HFe lies to her,  Cshe kisses him,  Fgettin’ tiGred of loCve
Bus station, at sun-up, she reads the ticket, in her hand
It’s a different name, for the same old town, and this ain’t the life            
that they had planned
And so he tries to tell her, it won’t be like the, times before
It’s a different town, and a brand new start, and he’s gonna work a whole lot more.
Chorus   
 Bus station, at sun-up, another hour, left to blow
 He touches her, but she’d like to leave, 
 and there’s no place left to go
Chorus
 Well, she Ammusta had a screw looFse, in her Chead
 AmHow could she believe all thFe things he Csaid
 SFhe lies to him,   Che kisses her,  gFettin’ tiGred of loCve
 Gettin’ Amtired of love,   F    Cgettin’ Amtired of loFve

Bus station, at sun-up, lookin’ for a new, place to go

He sips his coffie, and he pulls his ring,

at an empty morning street

Chorus:

Well, he musta had a screw loose, in his head

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

It’s a different name, for the same old town, and this ain’t the life

that they had planned

And so he tries to tell her, it won’t be like the, times before

It’s a different town, and a brand new start, and he’s gonna work a whole lot more.

Chorus

Bus station, at sun-up, another hour, left to blow

He touches her, but she’d like to leave,

and there’s no place left to go

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

Gettin’ tired of love, gettin’ tired of love
