Intro:
G C G D , G C G D G
I'Gm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna buy a tCicket to ride
Gonna fGind that lady with two or three kids and sit dDown by her side
RGide 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout tCwo or three times
SmGokin' cigarettes in the last seat
SinDg my song for the people I meet
AndG get along with it all
wherCe the people say "y'all"
Sing aG song with a friend
ChanDge the shape that I'm in,
And geGt back in the game,
And sCtart playin' again G D G
I'd Glike to stay but I might have to go to Cstart over again
MighGt go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that DIve never been
And Gget up in the mornin' and go out at night
And I won't Chave to go home
Get used toG bein' alone
Change the Dwords to this song
Start sGingin' again C G D G
(Repeat Intro)
Im tired of Grunnin round lookin for answers to questions that I alrCeady know
I could Gbuild me a castle of memories just to have sDomewhere to go
Count the Gdays and the nights that it takes to get back in the Csaddle again
Feed the pGigeons some clay
Turn the nDight into day
Start Gtalkin' again, when I kCnow what to say G D G
(Repeat Intro)
I'm goin'G down to the Greyhound Station, gonna buy a Cticket to ride
Gonna Gfind that lady with two or three kids and sit Ddown by her side
RiGde 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout tCwo or three times
Smokin' cGigarettes in the last seat
Sing my sDong for the people I meet
And get alGong with it all
wheCre the people say "y'all"
Feed the pGigeons some clay
Turn the Dnight into day
Start tGalkin' again, when I knCow what to say G D G
(Repeat Intro)
