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
