lyrics

Watching through the window of a Greyhound bus
At some strange guy doing yoga in Reno
Should’ve thought twice about the Prince’s advice
Take the bus he said but man what does he know?

48 hours, it’s only two days of my life
Saved a couple of dollars thought a window seat would be nice

Let me take this tale back a day or two
Got the call we had to meet in Chicago
Ditched the Amtrak option without a word of caution
Left the sunny streets of San Francisco

48 hours, it’s just two days of my life
Thought I might meet some folks along for the ride

Now it’s half way through day one
And I’m trying to avoid talking to the over-friendly guy in the seat next to me
(I think he likes me)
Now I’m reading this borrowed western
And my walkman’s playing steel guitar
Next time I’m going down this road swear I’ll rent a car

Stopped somewhere in Utah thought I might as well get high
At least I might sleep if I’m stoned
The woman on crack from the seat near the back
Left her kids on the bus all alone

48 hours, it’s just two days of my life
Say you’ll be there when I arrive

Now it’s half way through day two
And I’m trying to avoid talking to the over-friendly guy in the seat next to me
(I think he likes me)
Now I’m reading this airport thriller
And my walkman’s playing steel guitar
Next time I’m going down this road swear I’ll rent a car

about

The Wynntown Marshals Edinburgh, UK

Formed in Edinburgh in 2007, The Marshals tip their hat to The Jayhawks, Wilco, Drive-By Truckers, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams & Neil Young.

Their sound can loosely be described as ‘country rock' with powerpop hooks, but they love layered guitars, catchy choruses and have an unabashed belief in the power of rock music as a storytelling medium.
