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
Looking out the window as 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
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
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
CHORUS
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
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
