[Verse]
          Bb                           
I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station
            Eb            
Gonna buy a ticket to ride
          Bb                                   
I'm gonna find that lady with two or three kids
        F               
And sit down by her side
Bb                                           
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me
Eb                      
'bout two or three times
Bb                                 
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
          F                         
Sing this song for the people I meet
        Bb               
And get along with it all
             Eb              
Go 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
          Eb            Bb
And start playin' again ■ 
Bb              
I'd like to stay
                          Eb              
But I might have to go to start over again
           Bb                
I might go back down to Texas
                           F              
Might go to somewhere that I've never been


[Chorus]
    Bb                                       
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
      Eb                   
And I won't have to go home
            Bb         
Get used to bein' alone
           F                 
Change the words to this song
          Bb           
And start singin' again

[Verse]
             Bb            
I'm tired of runnin' 'round
                                      Eb            
Lookin' for answers to questions that I already know
        Bb                             
I could build me a castle with memories
             F               F7
Just to have somewhere to go ■ 
          Bb                 
Count the days and the nights
                                 Eb          
That it takes to get back in the saddle again
         Bb               
Feed the pigeons some clay
         F             
Turn the night into day
          Bb                   Eb              
And start talkin' again when I know what to say

                  Eb              
Go down where the people say y'all
         Bb               
Feed the pigeons some clay
         F             
Turn the night into day
Bb                 
Start talkin' again
       Eb              
When I know what to say
