(Intro: Em)

Em (022000@1)                         Bm7One (x20202@1)more Greyhound running tonight
Am (x02210@1)     B7 (x21202@1)        EmBiloxi, (022000@1)Mississippi bound
                                 Bm7But (x20202@1)I ain't ridin', let it go on by
   Am (x02210@1)            B7 (x21202@1)           EmI (022000@1)think I'll just hang around downtown

Am (x02210@1)        B7 (x21202@1)         EmWent (022000@1)to my baby's house, didn't telephone
                    Am (x02210@1)    B7 (x21202@1)          Em (022000@1)Strange car in the driveway, she was not alone
                    Am (x02210@1)   B7 (x21202@1)                Em (022000@1)Now I'm out on the street, hurting down in my bones
    Bm7 (x20202@1) Am (x02210@1)   B7 (x21202@1)            Em (022000@1)Somebody's been robbin' my honeycomb

(Same chord progression in the guitar solos)

I can't look back, no memories
If that's the way she wants it, that's how's it gonna be
I never was one to keep hanging on
If the woman don't want you just leave her alone

But I think about it, and it tears me down
I find a little bar with a 7 and a Crown
I'm a dangerous man, drinkin' alone
And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb

Daylight finds me out on the road
Hard rain falling but I don't feel the cold
I got a fire inside and it's burnin' deep
I got to let that woman and her new lover be

But he better not play you for a fool
I'd hurt somebody that would do that to you
I still got my feelings, they're burnin' strong
Somebody's been robbin my honeycomb
And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb
