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

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

            C 
I'm tired of running round looking for answers  
                   F 
To questions that I already know 
       C 
I could build me a castle of memories  
            G 
Just to have somewhere to go 
         C 
Count the days and the nights that it  
                        F 
takes to get back in the saddle again 
        C 
Feed the pigeons some clay 
        G 
Turn the night into day 
     C                  F                C 
Start talking again if I know what to say
