Rain on the window makes me lonely
And time keeps on passing so slowly
The old man sittin' next to me is fallin' asleep
On a greyhound bound for nowhere

The sun's goin' down on my misery
Another day gone by with broken dreams
That cell phone I hear ringing
I keep wishing it was you
On a greyhound bound for nowhere

And that ring your wearing
Don't mean everything
And the way you stood staring
As you watched me roll away
She loves you and you need me
And there's some things we can't share
I'm on a greyhound bound for nowhere

Bright lights of a city shining up ahead
My heart's analyzing every word you said
Did you take me for a fool
Or did you really care
I'm on a greyhound bound for nowhere

And that ring your wearing
Don't mean everything
And the way you stood staring
As you watched me roll away
She loves you and you need me
And there's some things we can't share
I'm on a greyhound bound for nowhere

I'm gonna find someplace I can ease my mind
And try to heal my wounded pride

Rain on the window and I'm still lonely
Time keeps on passing so slowly
You're with her and I'm alone
And you're wishing I was there
I'm on a greyhound bound for nowhere

We're all on a greyhound
Bound for nowhere

    This song is really good, it sounds to me like its about how she had a relationship with a married man and he choose his wife over her...sad :(

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way.
