[Bb]        [Eb]        [F]
[Bb]        [Eb]        [F]       [Bb]

[Bb]I'm going down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy a [Eb]ticket to ride
I'm [Bb]gonna find that lady with two or three kids
And [F]sit down by her side
And [Bb]ride 'til the sun comes up and down
Around about [Eb]two or three times
Smokin' [Bb]cigarettes in the last seat
Sing this [F]song for the people I meet
And get [Bb]along with it all
Where the [Eb]people say "ya'll"
And sing [Bb]a song with a friend
Change the [F]shape that I'm in
And get [Bb]back in the game
And start [Eb]playin' again

[Bb]I'd like to stay

But I might have to go
To start [Eb]over again
I might [Bb]go back down to Texas
Or to somewhere that [F]I never been
And [Bb]get up in the mornin' and go out at night
And I won't [Eb]have to go home
Get [Bb]used to being alone
Change the [F]words to this song
And start [Bb]singing again [Eb]   [Bb]   [F]  [Bb]

[Bb]        [Eb]        [F]       [Bb]

[Bb]I'm tired of running around looking for answers
To questions that I [Eb]already know
I could [Bb]build me a castle with memories
Just to have [F]somewhere to go
Count [Bb]the days and the nights
That it takes to get back in the [Eb]saddle again
Feed the [Bb]pigeons some clay
Turn the [F]night into day
And start [Bb]talkin' again
When I [Eb]know what to say   [Bb]   [F]   [Bb]
