Kid Sam - The Sunday Bus Song Lyrics

I'm a mostly-good-enough man
And I own the [unknown] in this desert town
I've always lived alone behind the shop out back
With an emptiness so heavy hanging all around

I was fifty-three years old when I got away
Took a plane to Thailand and I found her there
Standing in the market with her hair so black
I had the money so I took her back [unknown]

There I took her back into this desert town
And lived our lives the same as most of you
We never loved each other but that's alright
That's a gift given only to a chosen few

Was a good deal we had going
She kept the kitchen busy and it kept her fit
She got a comfortable place to sleep
And I got a woman sleeping in my bed

A bus comes through this desert town
Every Sunday morning making its way west
'Cause we got [unknown] twenty dollar notes
I grabbed her and pulled her close to my chest

I said "Darling, you can never leave,
Or I'll bury your body in the desert sand"
They stretch on forever like the endless years
You've never seen a more brutal and beautiful land

I got up this morning
Kitchen was quiet, it was all real silent
I got in my car and drove out looking for her
Bobby said he saw her getting on the Sunday bus

Now it's dark and I'm behind the wheel
With my rifle on the front seat and in front of us
The desert's such a brutal and beautiful place
And I can see the tail-lights of the Sunday bus
