[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
And get back in the game,
Bbsus4 Bb F
And start playin' again
[Verse 2]
Bb Bbsus4
I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again
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

Bb Bbsus4 Bb F Bb
[Verse 3]
Bb Bbsus4
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
[Instrumental]
