Greyhound

I wish they would have let you on that grey hound bus
I wish the driver didn't think that you were drunk
I wish you would would have came all the way from california
to leave me that message on my wall

I wish you would have bought that can of spray paint
I like to try guess what color you would have picked
and I wish you would would have written those words big and bold
i wish i wish i wish I wish I wish

And I wish that when I came home in september
with a mixed up mind and my tail between my legs
that my head lights lit up the message that you left me
I would have turned the car around and drove away

I would drive all the way to california
and I would meet you in the place we said we'd meet
and would not complain or ask you to explain
because I'd know that you were looking out for me

C G D
and I think about how different things might be
if you would have been able to leave that message for me
would you have saved me from my sorrow
would you have saved my from myself
could I save you from your misery
could I have have been of help
would we be in california or
would we be somewhere else
but we will never know because
we will never know because
they wouldn't let you on that fucking greyhound bus

A C G DDDDDDDDDDDDD CCCCCCCCCC G
you never made it to indiana cause they wouldn't let you on
you never got a chance to write those words
alas babylon
