Trisha Yearwood - On A Bus To St. Cloud Lyrics






On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer
And once on a street in New York City
With the jazz and the sin in the air
And once on a cold L.A. freeway
Going nowhere
And it's strange, but it's true
I was sure it was you
Just a face in the crowd
On a bus to St. Cloud

In a church in downtown New Orleans
I got down on my knees and prayed
And I wept in the arms of Jesus
For the choice you made
We were just gettin' to the good part
Just gettin' past the mystery
Oh, and it's just like you, it's just like you
To disagree
And it's strange but it's true
You just slipped out of view
Like a face in the crowd
On a bus to St. Cloud

And you chase me like a shadow
And you haunt me like a ghost
And I hate you some, and I love you some
But I miss you most...

On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer

Trisha Yearwood On A Bus To St. Cloud Comments
  1. B.... K....

    Lovely song.

  2. C.... C....

    2nd favorite song ~ in love with this song ~ Georgia reign my frist loved song everything she sings is wonderful tho.she is the real deal when you got you just got it ~ so talented sings like a angel U go IMiss Trisha yearwood ❤️🤗

  3. S.... M....

    This song takes me back to Christmas when I was a young naïve man in the late 1990's. Married the wrong women for all the wrong reasons.

  4. T.... G....

    going back today to the songs I've loved...and still do.

  5. S.... B....

    as I get older I feel its more like `chase me like a shadow and haunt me like the truth`

  6. J.... S....

    God, what a beautiful song! So sad, evoking lost love, regret, and what could have been. It makes this 71 year old man cry when I hear it.

  7. J.... A....

    She is an angel, sent by God to make us remember yesterday.

  8. J.... G....

    a beautiful song thanks for putting this video on

  9. L.... M....

    "And you chase me like a shadow and you haunt me like a ghost " I hate you so and I love you so..but I miss you most.

    L.... M....

    The best lines of the whole song. Trisha makes you feel every emotion. Beautiful. !!!!!!

  10. G.... S....

    Such a haunting beautiful song ....I still look for my Beloved Dad's Face even 42 years after his untimely passing 😣😣This song gets me every time.

  11. L.... M....

    "With the jazz and sin in the air"

  12. W.... S....

    I always wondered did he just leave her or did he kill himself??? it seems sadder than just a break up...the line "I wept in the arms of Jesus for the choice you made" makes me think that.

  13. D.... ....

    there are some Songs that just stop you in your tracks when you hear it come on... this is one of those <3

  14. R.... ....

    My best friend committed suicide over a year ago and this song resonates deeply with me. “I hate you so and I love so but I miss you most.” At one moment I hate him for what he’s put us through, another I remember everything we shared and treasure every second but I always miss him.

  15. J.... B....

    We don't use busses and trains as much now, when there are planes and freeways. I sometimes wish we were back in the time when it was common to take busses and travel more slowly. It allows reflection. I can remember a couple of memorable bus trips, and it is a different feeling than when one takes a plane or drives. Memory plays tricks with our seeing, and one might imagine one is seeing someone who is not there if one wants to find them again. This song evokes this feeling very well. The video is good too. It does seem as though the constant freeway expansions are making it harder and harder to relate to the landscape as we speed on our way, however. At least the trains do not seem to have this inflationary tendency. The tracks don't simply keep widening across the landscape as fast.

  16. M.... B....

    Thank you Trisha for all your music. I love everything you have done

  17. T.... M....

    I miss you most. One of the best songs ever.

  18. J.... B....

    Trish Yearwood is a wonderful person, a beautiful woman who sings beautiful songs that touch one deeply.

  19. P.... N....

    Beautiful song , beautiful structure , beautifully sung ......say no more

  20. Z.... H....

    This is my all time favourite country song sometimes a song comes along u just love on a bus to st cloud is it for me

  21. A.... G....

    So beautiful

  22. J.... B....

    one of my favorite Trisha Yearwood songs, beautiful piano accompaniment. Sad but beautiful.

  23. E.... R....

    Thank you Trisha

  24. E.... R....

    Farewell St. Cloud

  25. N.... S....

    This is the first time I’m hearing this song, and I love it

  26. B.... B....

    Thanks Gretchen peters, for this gift.

  27. B.... T....

    Still one of my favorite songs ever. I love to sing it, to feel it .

  28. P.... M....

    such an amazing song

  29. J.... H....

    Suanteun nu sae,beryukurlah ka Allah

  30. S.... L....

    Trisha Yearwood is an amazing woman. Her choice of songs, the ones with deep rich lyrics, are always spot on when I need to escape.

  31. I.... S....

    I've lived this song.  Right down to the very last word.  And every time I listen to it the pain comes flooding back and I weep like a child.  You know who you are.  You ripped my heart and my whole world completely apart.  To survive it, I had no choice but to wall off the grief.  It will remain buried inside me until I leave this earth.  Then I will finally be free.

    I.... S....

    lorad0313 i think I understand how you feel when you hear the song. I feel the same way!! My heart has been so broken

    I.... S....

    I am.sorry you are in pain
    I don't know what makes people do things that hurt others. I guess they lose sight of whats important.

  32. E.... D....

    This song makes me think of my mum I lost her five years ago but in 1997 she took me to North carolina for six weeks I feel in love with America 🇺🇸 mum never went back again but I've been back many times to stay with our family I love you mum and miss you every day and the words to this song now make even more sense xxx

  33. R.... D....

    This song is beautiful. Seems to have somehow missed being famous & more popular.

  34. j.... ....

    Girlie.... I get it my hometown is boring... you don’t have to make a song out of it :/

  35. c.... w....

    this gives me motivation to go to st. cloud. sounds like a good song

  36. g.... M....

    i love this song.

  37. j.... k....

    Its 2017, and am still listening to this song, so touching

  38. P.... ....

    Poetic.

  39. R.... J....

    Just the simple reason music can touch your soul like absolutely nothing else. I'm told the Bible says that we have music in eternity and this is how we skirt the edges of the spiritual world. Something about this song makes you stop your busy life for a moment and think about lost love, what could've been. Just awesome.

  40. A.... G....

    The best Trisha song never played on radio even classic CW stations.

    A.... G....

    Thank God this was played on Nashville radio back when....and a lot. This song hit me hard when I first heard it...And still does.

  41. C.... D....

    I love this song

  42. M.... B....

    My all time favorite singer. Sat I got a chance to tell her in person. Her response was "thank you that means a lot to me"

  43. E.... C....

    trisha made my life memorable.. rocked my child to sleep. every night by my self.

  44. P.... K....

    I don't know where I've been but I heard this song for the first time a week ago. Could not stop the tears while listening. Gretchen is truly a gifted writer and must have been thinking of Trisha as the performer because no one could do it better. Can't help being moved by this song and performer.

  45. P.... M....

    All time great song

  46. A.... ....

    try the Jimmy LaFave version.

  47. s.... m....

    Love this! One of the great "sad songs" of all time. Thanks.

  48. s.... ....

    us version of celine dion

  49. L.... D....

    No, credit to Trisha for making it real. My grandmother died 20 years ago. She was my soul mate. I was 20. Now I am 40 and I still see her everywhere.

  50. J.... S....

    I totally love this song, from the first time I ever heard it...wonderfull song, done to perfection.

  51. J.... M....

    This song reminds me of an old girl friend Dianne Correll. She was one of the hardest workers I have ever known. I had so much respect for her. She was tragically killed in a car wreck at age17. She is someone I will never forget...

  52. S.... G....

    Breaks my heart every time I see this video. Truly exceptional. Her voice, the song, the video. Just amazing.

  53. M.... A....

    What is she doing in Minnesota?

  54. 2.... ....

    God...what an amazing song......you connect immediately - somehow we are all passengers on this bus to St Cloud.......everybody ...haunted by our own ghost.......

    2.... ....

    I live in st.cloud mn :)

  55. K.... C....

    Gosh she is so good

  56. j.... ....

    The voice of a country angel

    j.... ....

    I agree!

  57. A.... D....

    makes me cry every time

  58. H.... L....

    to my best friend wherever you are. I hate you some and i love you some, but I miss you most. I will always miss you,

    H.... L....

    Feel the same about  the first love of my life. I know where they are but they will always be there and I will be here

  59. G.... a....

    hehe i live in st.cloud mn

  60. T.... L....

    god I love her music I really love this one lots.

  61. M.... ....

    On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
    I thought I saw you there
    With the snow falling down around you
    Like a silent prayer
    And once on a street in New York City
    With the jazz and the sin in the air
    And once on a cold L.A. freeway
    Going nowhere
    And it's strange, but it's true
    I was sure it was you
    Just a face in the crowd
    On a bus to St. Cloud
    In a church in downtown New Orleans
    I got down on my knees and prayed
    And I wept in the arms of Jesus
    For the choice you made
    We were just gettin' to the good part
    Just gettin' past the mystery
    Oh, and it's just like you, it's just like you
    To disagree
    And it's strange but it's true
    You just slipped out of view
    Like a face in the crowd
    On a bus to St. Cloud
    And you chase me like a shadow
    And you haunt me like a ghost
    And I hate you some, and I love you some
    But I miss you most
    On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
    I thought I saw you there
    With the snow falling down around you
    Like a silent prayer

    Gretchen Peters wrote an amazing song and thank goodness it was handed to a amazing vocalist like Trisha Yearwood.

  64. R.... C....

  65. R.... C....

    I am all yours Jennifer all I need is you

  66. D.... D....

    Stunning i love this its simply the best version wonderful voice true class .

    D.... D....

    David Doyle it's the only version

    D.... D....

    @countrygirl country musiclover Just in case you haven't yet run across it, here's a performance by the original singer/songwriter, Gretchen Peters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnHjoFkE6Ts Both are great!

    (Yearwood will reportedly be recording another of Peters' songs, "The Matador," on an upcoming album.)

  67. J.... F....

    so. it's about Suicide?

    J.... F....

    Jacob Full yes

  68. J.... S....

    The first time I heard this song on the radio, I had to pull my car over to stop and listen to it. As someone who knows the endless sadness of loves that came and went, I felt it was a song that my heart had been singing for decades and finally Trisha had given it voice.

    J.... S....

    +Jim Southern I have always felt the exact same way about this song.

    J.... S....

    Gretchen Peters actually wrote this song, but Trisha does sing it beautifully.

    J.... S....

    Hey Jim....being not too bad with words either.....I have to compliment you on those lines.......People like you should be writing books or biographies ....to give the ones that arent this gifted a voice...Cheers man....Roger

    J.... S....

    The song is beyond fabulous.  It hurts my soul.

    J.... S....

    Great words Jim, makes me think of one so dear to me who boarded that Bus to the clouds. Many years ago but I'll never stop missing my heroic Dad. Everything I wish I was.

  69. J.... M....

    you haunt me like a ghost

    J.... M....

    And you chase me like a shadow...
    Great lyrics sung by an amazing voice!

  70. L.... A....

    one of "thee" voices of all time.

  71. J.... T....

    As good as Gretchen Peters and that, in my book, is pretty good.

  72. 0.... ....

    Some songs are special, this is one of those.

  73. H.... B....

    One of my all time favourite songs

  74. J.... S....

    I'm from St. Cloud so this song really hits me. I feel a sense of comfort and hometown pride everytime I hear it. I'm even taking the bus to New York this month. I'll have to try to take one to LA and New Orleans as well.

    J.... S....

    +Jennifer Schreifels IMO St. Cloud is a great town. I lived there about 10 years. I love St Cloud being Marshall's hometown in How I Met Your Mother.

    J.... S....

    Hey St.Cloud-Jennifer.....,you have all the right to feel a sense of hometown pride........Your last name though rings german....right? I am in germany right now...and heard that name a couple of times....And wasnt there this movie with Tobey Maguire.....The cider house rules.....where the orphanage was also called St.Clouds ? Got to watch it.....just wonderful... Cheers.Roger

    J.... S....

    Hoping that all your journeys are with a light heart

  75. w.... m....

    Trisha's music never gets old.....  Love her voice and selection of songs over the years...

  76. k.... m....

    What a stunning song !  Thanks to Gretchen for writing it, and thanks to Trisha for putting so much emotion into it. I play this song every day, to me it's bitter/sweet, and brings many wonderful memories of my beloved Maggie who went far away into the Silent Land in 2006. (I've gone all loose& soggy). Merry Christmas, y'all !!!

  77. C.... T....

    BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE HER VOICE!!!!

  78. T.... B....

    such feeling/emotion in the way she sings

  79. J.... B....

    Gorgeous!

  80. G.... K....

    Beautiful song. credit to Gretchen Peters for writing this.

    G.... K....

    Glen King who gives a shit who wrote this. Trisha sings it that's all that matters

    G.... K....

    Gretchen as she always does-did an outstanding job writing this song... Trisha Yearwood did an Amazing job singing it as well!!

    G.... K....

    Can't sing 'em if someone like Gretchen doesn't write 'em...beautiful song from 2 beautiful women

  81. J.... S....

    The first time I heard this song on the radio, within 15 seconds of the intro I knew I had to stop the car and listen to it intently.  There are just certain songs in everyone's life that resonate fully with their inner being and this one does with me.  Actually I never even got close to the "good part" but I tried. 

    J.... S....

    This is a lovely song.

    J.... S....

    I had a similar, visceral reaction the first time I heard this song.

    J.... S....

    @ Jim Southern   ... me too

    J.... S....

    I felt the same way my friend. This song still gets me every time.

  82. M.... L....

    Love this song - I ride the bus there daily to get to St. Cloud State University.

  83. G.... S....

    Lovely and heartbreaking. Her voice is pristine.

  84. k.... k....

    i love her i love her voice i done this at karaoke and many other songs by her i want to visit this place it is so breath taking

  85. D.... J....

    A beautiful voice singing a beautiful song with magic lyrics.

  86. d.... j....

    The summit of TY's catalogue, absolute perfection.

  87. z.... k....

    USED TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG WITH MY FATHER AS HE WOULD DRIVE ME TO SCHOOL EVERY MORNING

  88. M.... ....


    I agree :)

  89. M.... ....

    This is on my Heavenly Karaoke set list.

    Veronica {DIVA} Lodge

  90. L.... H....

    Its a nice edit from the Album version. both are stunning.

  91. t.... ....

    Trisha at her peak. Beautiful, simply beautiful and so touching!

  92. s.... ....

    omg love trisha love this song, she is incredible....

  93. T.... B....

    Yet another classic - why oh why is she not recording??

  94. d.... G....

    You know if there's one person in this world who can bring MUSIC back, it's TRISHA !! Why doesn't she start a music school or get together with BERKLEE MUSIC or somebody, reclaim MUSIC like it used to be !!

  95. E.... E....

    Another great Gretchen Peters song (Independence Day; Uncivil War; Don't Even Know Who I Am, etc.)

  96. �.... ....

    discovered thanks to Kate Atkinson's "Case Histories" :)

  97. J.... S....

    The first time this song ccame on the radio, as soon as I heard the intro start, I knew I had to pull my car over and listen. It brought chills to my spine and tears to my eyes....and it still does. This recording is beyond great. Thank you, Trisha.

  98. b.... ....

    This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I never get tired of it.

  99. j.... ....

    Not true. I'd give anything to come back home. *FungalSheep, what part of STC are you on?
