C

I’m going down to the greyhound station

F

Gonna get a ticket to ride

C

Gonna find that lady with 2 or 3 kids

G

And sit down by her side

C

And ride until the sun comes up and

F

Down around me about 2 or 3 times

C

Smoking cigarettes in the last seat

G

Trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet

C

And get along with it all

F

Whenever people say Y’all

C

Sing a song with a friend

G

Change the shape that I’m in

C

And get back in the game

F C

And start playing again

C

I’d like to stay but I might have to go to

F

Start over again

C

I might go back down to Texas I might go

G

Somewhere that I’ve never been

C

And get up in the morning and go out at night

F

And I won’t have to go home

C

Get used to being alone

G

Change the words to this song

C F C

And start singing again

C

I’m tired of running round looking for answers

F

To questions that I already know

C

I could build me a castle of memories

G

Just to have somewhere to go

C

Count the days and the nights that it

F

takes to get back in the saddle again

C

Feed the pigeons some clay

G

Turn the night into day

C F C

Start talking again if I know what to say

C

I’m going down to the greyhound station

F

Gonna get a ticket to ride

C

Gonna find that lady with 2 or 3 kids

G

And sit down by her side

C

And ride until the sun comes up and

F

And get along with it all

Going down where people say Y'all

Feed the pigeons some clay

G

Turn the night into day

C F C

Start talking again if I know what to say
