Intro-C Am F G Dm 
 
C                                         Dm     
Watch the rain dripping off the station window 
F                G                     C G C  
Listen to them motors they're warming up 
C                                 Dm 
Wondering just where I'll be come morning 
F           G                              C 
And just forgetting all I'm about to give up 
 
C                                        Am 
Well, I walked away from everything this evening 
F                               G 
Nothing was wrong, just time to roll 
       C                                        Am 
And I pray to God she still ain't sittin there thinking 
F                 G                   C 
That I'm coming back from the liquor store 
 
CHORUS 
 
G          F                           E7 
Hope she knows it's not that I didn't love her 
F         G                      Am 
Hope she don't think I've gone insane 
F      G                  C         Am     
Maybe it's that I love the highway more 
F        G           Am 
Riding buses in the rain 
      F              G            C 
Now ride a few old buses in the rain 
 
BREAK 
 
C                                      Dm 
She said by my age that I'm a little young 
F                     G                                   
Man and I'll tend to agree there's things that I haven't 
  C G C 
done 
     C                                           Dm 
But she pulled that old rope a little tighter on me 
            F        G        F           G 
Yeah from livin in ditches, bars and my bridges 
F                           G            C 
Just can't swing from your dead lover's tree
