When I was seventeen I bought a one way ticket out
Took that rig across the county line
Though the passengers were drunk on fortified mulled wine
It didn’t really feel like Christmas time
I guess I picked the hardest time to run away from home
There ain’t no one around to make a fuss
And though the air is cold and I’ve had a shot or two of rum
It just ain’t Christmas on a Greyhound Bus
Sleeping on my pillow made of shirts and magazines
Glance out of the window at that passing snowy scene
I lost track of time more than a day or two ago
And all that’s left is to close my eyes and dream
I guess I picked the hardest time to run away from home
There ain’t no one around to make a fuss
And though the air is cold and I’ve had a shot or two of rum
It just ain’t Christmas on a Greyhound Bus
