Cincinnati Layover from Copyright 1973 by The So-Called Fake Country All-Stars

I never thought I'd spend a night at the Knoxville bus station
But the buses weren’t going anywhere since the big storm came through
The payphone didn't work and I could not afford it anyway
Anyway, I'd spent my last dime gettin’ back to you
 
I was listening to my Walkman on the bus that they left running
I looked up and down the aisle but saw no bowties around
There were no secret agents, just some poor pathetic people
Caught sight of myself in the window you can guess what I found
 
I was sleeping on the floor
I was eating off of these cafeteria vouchers for you
But what was I doing it all for
Hell, you barely even answered my letters anymore

Instrumental break (verse)

And I still have Cincinnati to sit through

It was two in the morning when the bus pulled in the station
You were supposed to pick me up but you were nowhere to be found
You were out gallivanting with some local Cassanova
I had come 1000 miles, he came from just across town 
 
I can't stand the smell of diesel anymore
I can't stand the sight of exit signs and fast food restaurants
I'm not traveling anymore
I’m gonna find me a South Carolina girl and never let her go
 
Now I'm sitting here alone at the Atlanta bus station
My heart just wrecked by a brown haired girl half a world away
but I guess i always knew that you would not be true
but romantic minds have to find out the hard way
 
and we still have Cincinnati
I still have Cincinnati that I can masturbate to
