Lyrics
Well, I’m sorry that I hurt you honey, sorry that I had to go
And there’s one thing that I’ve got to tell you, one thing that I want you to know
It’s a long and lonely bus ride home from Massachusetts to New Mexico
It’s a long and lonely bus ride home from Massachusetts to New Mexico
Well, I hated to say goodbye to you
It left my heart so full of grief
And if everything wasn’t bad enough
I had a terrible achin’ in my teeth
Well, I’m sorry that I hurt you honey, sorry that I had to go
And there’s one thing that I’ve got to tell you, one thing that I want you to know
It’s a long and lonely bus ride home from Massachusetts to New Mexico
It’s a long and lonely bus ride home from Massachusetts to New Mexico
Well, I’ve never known lovin’ like yours before
The kind that would make me drool
Well, I must have been crazy to let you go
I surely must be a fool
Well, I’m sorry that I hurt you honey, sorry that I had to go
And there’s one thing that I’ve got to tell you, one thing that I want you to know
It’s a long and lonely bus ride home from Massachusetts to New Mexico
It’s a long and lonely bus ride home from Massachusetts to New Mexico
Well, I’m sorry that I hurt you honey, sorry that I had to go
And there’s one thing that I’ve got to tell you, one thing that I want you to know
It’s a long and lonely bus ride home from Massachusetts to New Mexico
It’s a long and lonely bus ride home from Massachusetts to New Mexico
