Capo 3

[Intro]
G C G D
G C G D G

[Chorus]
 G                             
I'm goin' down to the Greyhound 
                     C
Station, gonna buy a ticket to 
ride
      G                         
Gonna find that lady with two or 
                   D
three kids and sit down by her 
side
G                                  
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down 
                C
around me 'bout two or three times
  G
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
   D
Sing my song for 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 playin' again

[Verse]
   G                               
I'd like to stay but I might have to
      C
go to start over again
   G                              
Might go back down to Texas, might 
                    D
go to somewhere that I've never 
been
   G
And get up in the mornin' and go out
at night
            C
And I won't have to go home
           G
Get used to bein' alone
           D
Change the words to this song
       G            C   G  D G
Start singin' again

[Instrumental]
G C G D
G C G D G

[Verse]
            G                     
I'm tired of runnin' round lookin' 
                                C
for answers to questions that I 
already know
       G                    
I could build me a castle of 
                      D
memories just to have 
somewhere to go
         G                        
Count the days and the nights that 
                           C
it takes to get back in the saddle 
again
          G
Feed the pigeons some clay
          D
Turn the night into day
     G                      C   
Start talkin' again, when I know 
           G  D G
what to say

[Instrumental]
