C5 
I'm going down to the greyhound station 
           F5 
Gonna get a ticket to ride 
     C5 
Gonna find that lady with 2 or 3 kids 
       G5 
And sit down by her side 
   C5                                                    
And ride until the sun comes up and   
                    F5 
Down around me about 2 or 3 times 
       C5 
Smoking cigarettes in the last seat 
G5 
Trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet 
       C5 
And get along with it all 
        F5 
Whenever people say Y'all 
      C5 
Sing a song with a friend 
          G5 
Change the shape that I'm in 
       C5 
And get back in the game 
         F5            C5 
And start playing again  
 

C5 
I'd like to stay but I might have to go to  
     F5 
Start over again 
          C5 
I might go back down to Texas I might go  
             G5 
Somewhere that I've never been 
       C5 
And get up in the morning and go out at night 
          F5 
And I won't have to go home 
          C5 
Get used to being alone 
         G5 
Change the words to this song 
        C5             F5  C5 
And start singing again  
 

            C5 
I'm tired of running round looking for answers  
                   F5 
To questions that I already know 
       C5 
I could build me a castle of memories  
            G5 
Just to have somewhere to go 
         C5 
Count the days and the nights that it  
                        F5 
takes to get back in the saddle again 
        C5 
Feed the pigeons some clay 
        G5 
Turn the night into day 
     C5                  F5                C5 
Start talking again if I know what to say
