greyhound bus lyrics

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 ponytails
Reminding me of you
I don't know why I left
It was somethin' I had to do

And looking out the window
The skyline 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 recognize my face
But I don't know who I am

Now I'm gonna catch a Greyhound
Getting out of this town
I'm gonna catch a Greyhound
Back to you

And I close my eyes
But I can't seem to sleep
And 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

And I'm gonna catch a Greyhound
Getting out of this town
I'm gonna catch a Greyhound
Back to you

And 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"

Gonna catch a Greyhound
Getting out of this town
I'm gonna catch a Greyhound
Back to you

Yes, I'm gonna catch a Greyhound
Getting out of this town
I'm gonna catch a Greyhound
Back to us

I'm starting my life over
On a Greyhound bus
