lyrics

I'm goin down to the greyhound station
I'm gonna buy a ticket to ride
I'm gonna find me that lady
two or three kids and sit down by her side
ride til the sun comes up and down
round me bout 2 or 3 times
smoking cigarettes in the last seat
trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
and get along with it all
where the people say yall
sing a song with a friend
change the shape that im in
and get back in the game and start playing again

Id like to stay
but I might have to go
and start over again
I might go back down to texas
go to somewhere that I've never been
get up in the morning
go out at night
I won't have to go home
get used to being alone
change the words to this song
start singing again

I'm tired of running around looking for answers
to questions that I already know
I could build me a castle of memories
just to have somewhere to go
count the days and the nights that it takes
to get back in the saddle again
feed the pigeons some clay
turning night into day
start talking again
when I know what to say

I'm going down to the greyhound station
I'm gonna buy a ticket to ride
I'm gonna find me that lady
two or three kids and sit down by her side
ride til the sun comes up and down round me
bout 2 or 3 times
smoking cigarettes in the last seat
sing my song for the people I meet
and get along with it all
where the people say yall
feed the pigeons some clay
turning night into day
start talking again
when I know what to say
