Save Me A Seat
She’s standing in a hard rain waiting for the bus, homeward bound
There with her umbrella she’s had enough, homeward bound
She’s ready for the journey in her heart of hearts, homeward bound
Once those doors swing open they let the healing start, homeward bound
Get you a place by the window, grab the isle for me
Someday when it’s my turn, look around you and there I’ll be
You better save me a seat, oh, save me a seat
You don’t need to transfer on the freedom bus, because it’s one way bound
You don’t need a token if in god you trust, homeward bound
Lay down your weary burden travel as you please, homeward bound
The tired and the weary find comfort in release, homeward bound
Get you a place by the window, grab the isle for me
Someday when it’s my turn, look around you and there I’ll be
You better save me a seat, oh, save me a seat
They don’t laugh at white girls who love their R & B, homeward bound
You’ll be dancing by the river let your soul run free, homeward bound
Oh, she’s ready to get ready - she’s got everything in a line, homeward bound
You gave the gift of courage go on girl it’s time, homeward bound
Get you a place by the window, grab the isle for me
Someday when it’s my turn, look around you and there I’ll be
You better save me a seat, oh, save me a seat
She’s standing in a hard rain, waiting for the bus, homeward bound
Closing her umbrella, she hands it back to us, homeward bound
Wave goodbye at your window, put up your big old feet
Someday when it’s my turn, look around you and there I’ll be
You better save me a seat, oh, save me a seat
