Verse 1
G
As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat
I thought I saw my future bride
walking up the street

"Hey conductor, you must slow down
I think I see her,
please let me off the bus"

Verse 3
I saw her from the corner when
she turned and doubled back
And started walkin' toward a

I was pushin' through the crowd
tryna get to where she's at
And I was campaign shouting
like a southern diplomat
