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
