Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' [G]down to the Greyhound Station
Gonna buy a [C]ticket to ride
I'm gonna [G]find that lady with two or three kids
And sit [D]down by her side
[G]Ride 'til the sun comes up
and down around me
'Bout [C]two or three times
Smokin' [G]cigarettes in the last seat
Sing this [D]song for the people I meet
And get a[G]long with it all
Where the [C]people say "y'all"
Sing a [G]song with a friend
Change the [D]shape that I'm in
And get [G]back in the game
And start [C]playin' [G]again[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]I'd like to stay
But I might have to go to start [C]over again
I might go [G]back down to Texas
Might go to somewhere that [D]I've never been
And get [G]up in the mornin'
and go out at night
And I won't [C]have to go home
Get used to [G]bein' alone
Change the [D]words to this song
And start [G]singin' [C]again[G][D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
I'm tired of [G]runnin' 'round
Lookin' for answers
to questions that I [C]already know
I could [G]build me a castle with memories
Just to have [D]somewhere to go
Count the [G]days and the nights
That it takes to get back
in the [C]saddle again
Feed the [G]pigeons some clay
Turn the [D]night into day
And start [G]talkin' again,
when I [C]know what to [G]say[D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G][D]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
I'm goin' [G]down to the Greyhound Station
Gonna buy a [C]ticket to ride
I'm gonna [G]find that lady with two or three kids
And sit [D]down by her side
[G]Ride 'til the sun comes up
and down around
'Bout [C]two or three times
Smokin' [G]cigarettes in the last seat
Sing my [D]song for the people I meet
And get a[G]long with it all
Where the [C]people say "y'all"
Feed the [G]pigeons some clay
Turn the [D]night into day
And start [G]talkin' again
When I [C]know what to [G]say[D]

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]
