(Attention please Southbound bus loading Gate No
8

All aboard for Willow Springs Taboule Rogersville
Paskanaw Ravanden

Belaford Johnsborro Marktree and Memphis all
aboard South all aboard please)

I drive for the bus line to all points south I
drive

Guess I've heard a million stories from the folks
that ride

Have your tickets ready please and don't forget
to check your grid

And I'm a leavin' on another one of my hurried
southern trips

These big wheels roll in the heat and the cold

When the thunder and the lightenin' whips

And the folks that ride got a reason to ride on a
hurried southern trips



With a tear filled eyes a young girl got on board
at Willow Springs

She was bearing child and I didn't see a ring

I'm on my way to Memphis she said through
trembling lips

At the unwed mother's home I'll end up my hurried
southern trip

A man stepped aboard in Memphis said do you
remember me

I rode here with you to Luthportworth in 1953

And I've been in prison all these years cause I
made one bad slip

And I took him home to Rogersville on a hurried
southern trip

These big wheels roll in...



A soldier boy said hello Joe it's been a long
long time

Do you still make a special stop and the Shannon
County Line

It wasn't long till we were there to meet the
folks he'd missed

Tears of joy filled every eye on that hurried
southern trip

These big wheels roll in...

(We will change buses here ladies and gentlemen
for all point stops

Be sure that you conform your reservation be sure
to check your baggage and babies
