Kate Campbell - MONTGOMERY TO MOBILE lyrics

rate me

Late night Greyhound station

Burnt oil and diesel

Cigarettes and coffee

From the vending machine

Waiting in the silence

The silence of a painting

The coldness seems to fill

The space between

Boarding now

Going south

You can take the window seat

And I’ll sit right beside you

We’ll see if the view has changed

We both know on this road

So many things can blind you

When you let fear get in the way

Some might find it funny still

George and Rosa

On a bus ride

From Montgomery to Mobile

And how many years

Did we miss each other

Because of all the seats

Between the front and back

And how many miles

Do we have to go

To shine the light

On the kindness we so often lack

Time rolls by

We must try

So much pain

And so much struggle

When will there be

Trouble enough

Well if we plow this field together

Surely we can rise above
