Intro [C] [C] [G] [C] [F] [G] [C]
[C]I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna buy a[F] ticket to ride
[C]Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and[G] sit down by her side
[C]Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout [F]two or three times
Smokin'[C] cigarettes in the last seat
Sing this[G] song for the people I meet
And get [C]along with it all
Go where the[F] people say "y'all"
Sing[C] a song with a friend
Change the[G] shape that I'm in,
And get[C[ back in the game,
And start [F]playin' again
[C]I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start[F] over again
I might[C] go back down to Texas,
Might go to somewhere that[G] I've never been
And [C]get up in the mornin' and go out at night
And I won't[F] have to go home
Get[C] used to bein' alone
Change the[G] words to this song
And start[C] singin' again.
[F] [C] [G] [C][C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G] [C]
[C]I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for
Answers to questions that I[F] already know
I could[C] build me a castle with memories
just to have [G]somewhere to go
Count[C] the days and the nights that it
Takes to get back in the[F] saddle again
Feed the[C] pigeons some clay
Turn the[G] night into day
And start [C]talkin' again, when I[F] know what to say
[C] [G] [C][C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G] [C]
I'm goin' [C]down to the Greyhound Station, gonna buy a[F] ticket to ride
Gonna find[C] that lady with two or three kids and sit[G] down by her side
[C]Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout[F] two or three times
Smokin'[C] cigarettes in the last seat
Sing my[G] song for the people I meet
And get[C] along with it all
Where the[F] people say "y'all"
Feed the[C] pigeons some clay Turn the[G] night into day
Start [C] talkin again When I [F] know what to say.
