Boys and Buses

I had a broken heart and a broken heel
And a break down when those big old wheels
Left with him and left me in
A cloud of deep old dust
She was sittin' there with her beehive hair
And said, "Honey
That's a waste of good mascara"
She handed me a pink Kleenex
And I'll never forget what she said next

"Boys and buses got a lot in common
They both pick up speed when
You try to stop 'em
You could waste your breath
You could scream and cuss 'em
But there's no use chasin'
After boys and buses"

She said, "Some leave with a guitar casе
Some wind up at an army base
Some makе out much under the hood
And some roll it on out to Hollywood
But the cost is lost once the ticket's bought
And you can't catch but don't wanna be caught
But when those tail lights start to dim
There's another one comin' right
Around the bend, 'cause

Boys and buses got a lot in common
They both pick up speed when
You try to stop 'em
You could waste your breath
You could scream and cuss 'em
But there's no use chasin'
After boys and buses

Sometimes love and transportation
Will spin your wheels and keep you waiting
But anytime you think you've missed it
Just give it ten or fifteen minutes

Boys and buses got a lot in common
They both pick up speed when
You try to stop 'em
You could waste your breath
You could scream and cuss 'em
But there's no use chasin'
After boys and buses
Yeah, there's no use chasin'
After boys and buses
