Paroles de Bus To Augusta

One night on a bus to Augusta
While the neighbors were fast asleep
She left a dog for a southbound Greyhound
Took a breath and a window seat
One night on a bus to Augusta
One night on a full moon summer
Black Label raging in his eyes
He laid his hands, not the healing kind, on her
Left her bleeding for the 81st time
One night on a full moon summer

She slipped a little something in the cornbread mix
Gave a little smile as he licked his lips
His eyes getting heavy as the watch hand ticks down
Five, four, three, two

One night in a stroke of genius
She made a call to her sheriff friend
Turns out, when you're drugged up sleepin'
Fingerprints ain't hard to get

Now the town had an unsolved murder
Just lacked a little evidence
Sheriff planted those prints on the trigger
And it was just enough to pin it on him Five, four, three, two
Five, four, three, two
One night on a bus to Augusta

One night on a bus to Augusta
She finally made her peace
Left a dog for southbound Greyhound
Took a breath and window a seat

One night
Bus to Augusta
Oh, she made her peace
Out on the bus to Augusta
