Greyhound Bus

The Warren Brothers · Beautiful Day in the Cold Cruel World [1998]

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
