CAPO 3
          g
I’m going down to the greyhound station
           c
Gonna buy a ticket to ride
    g
I'm gonna find that lady with 2 or 3 kids
       d
And sit down by her side
   g                                                   
And ride until the sun comes up and  
                    c
Down around me about 2 or 3 times
       g
Smoking cigarettes in the last seat
d
Trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
       g
And get along with it all
        c
Where the people say Y’all
      g
Sing a song with a friend
         d
Change the shape that I’m in
       g
And get back in the game
         c            g d g
And start playing again 


I’d like to stay but I might have to go to and
Start over again
I might go back down to Texas or go to 
Somewhere that I’ve never been
And get up in the morning and go out at night
And I won’t have to go home
Get used to being alone
Change the words to this song
And start singing again 

            
I’m tired of running round 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
Turn the night into day
Start talking again if I know what to say

Smoking cigarettes in the last seat
Trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
And get along with it all
