big brown bus

caught a big brown bus heading south out of san antonio

in a grey suitcase

i packed up everything i owned

sun's coming up while the bus tires sighed and that highway moaned

fell asleep and i dreamed that i was king of the texas rodeo

i'm getting back to it now

slowly

i'm gaining ground

oh. oh mercy

mercy send your angels

oh. damned 'cause i'm leaving it all in a cloud of dust

on a big brown bus

all across texas

on a big brown bus

all the lights on the wires are hanging orange and low

and i think of buying some dexedrine in mexico

but i'm broke anyways

so i'm just gonna stay and stick out the ride

with a head full of blight

a mouth full of sand

'cause my throat is too dry

and i might die on this highway

part of me wishes i would

oh. oh mercy

mercy send your angels

oh. damned 'cause i'm leaving it all in a cloud of dust

on a big brown bus

all across texas

on a big brown bus

yeah

i'm getting back to it now

slowly

when i'm gaining ground

oh. oh mercy

mercy send your angels

oh. damned 'cause i'm leaving it all in a cloud of dust

on a big brown bus

all across texas

on a big brown bus

all across texas

on a big brown bus

oh

on a big brown bus
