[Verse 1]
          Bb                                   Bbsus4
I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna buy a ticket to ride
      Bb                                            F
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Bb                                                  Bbsus4
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
        Bb
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
         F
Sing the song for the people I meet
        Bb
And get along with it all
[Chorus]
   Bbsus4
Go down where the people say "y'all"
       Bb
Sing a song with a friend
           F
Change the shape that I'm in,

         Bb                                             F
Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that Ive never been
    Bb
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
            Bbsus4
And I won't have to go home
            Bb
Get used to bein' alone
           F
Change the words to this song
      Bb           Bbsus4   Bb    F
Start singin' again

I'm tired of runnin' round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know
        Bb                                         F
I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go
          Bb                                                   Bbsus4
Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again
         Bb
Feed the pigeons some clay
         F
Turn the night into day
      Bb                    Bbsus4           Bb   F
Start talkin' again, when I know what to say
