Greyhound Bus

Kevin Ray

The rumble of the engines

In the station almost put me to sleep

And the wino covered up with yesterday's news

Is lying next to me

I see a red-haired girl with pony tails

Reminding me of you

I don't know why I left

It was something I had to do



Looking out the window

As the sky line fades away

When I see your face I have no idea

What I'm gonna say

I've got a picture of me holding you

Right here in my hands

I recoginze my face

But I don't know who I am



Chorus:

Now I'm

Gonna catch a Greyhound

Getting out of this town

I'm

Gonna catch a greyhound

Back to you



I close my eyes

But I can't seem to sleep

Cause the past rolls through my mind

Like a river cold and deep

Morning comes and the sky begins to rain

It feels good to feel something

Even if it's pain



Chorus:

Now I'm

Gonna catch a greyhound

Getting out of this town

I'm

Gonna catch a greyhound

Back to you



Now it's amazing how a tender voice

On the other end of the phone

Can change your mind, your life, your plans

Just by saying

Daddy please come home



Chorus:

Gonna catch a greyhound

Getting back to this town

I'm

Gonna catch a greyhound

Back to you



Yes, I'm gonna catch a greyhound

Getting back to this town

I'm

Gonna catch a greyhound

Back to us



I'm starting my life over

On a Greyhound Bus
