Beneath the shade the hired hands are talking Down the highway a lonely woman walking The prisoner of a dream that she's been stuck in And I'm waiting for the bus to Tampa Bay
There's a map of Osceola and his Raiders Fighting off the Everglades Invaders He burnt them down, he left them for the gators And there's maybe something better down the road
I've lost no sleep over where I'm leaving Bit by bit, I slowly stop believing That it was me and only me I was deceiving And I'm waiting for the bus to Tampa Bay
It was a love but she never would admit it It was killing her but she didn't know how to quit it They say there's good work if you can get it And I'm waiting for the bus to Tampa Bay Yeah, I'm waiting for the bus to Tampa Bay
