"Greyhound Bus Blues" lyrics

Liam St. John & Molly Tuttle Lyrics

"Greyhound Bus Blues"

I woke up this morning got that feeling, got that call
To empty out my closet, clear them pictures off my walls
The man in the mirror said boy you look like hell
So I hopped onto a greyhound and bid that lonesome town
Farewell

I get to every city and it's different till it's not
I'll love 'em till I hate 'em
When I hate 'em then I'm gone
I don't need a doctor to try and help me figure out
What it is that keeps me cutting ties and splitting town

I could blame it all on the constellations and the sun
Or how my daddy liked to show me how fast he could run
And I hate it that my momma never fell back in love
There's a long list of things I'm runnin' from
On this Greyhound bus

Spokane down to Portland out to northwest Arkansas
Maybe I should stop following this broken heart
L.A. was lonesome but at least I had a dream
And I followed that fair lady out to Nashville, Tennessee

Maybe I'm not meant to plant my roots and spread my seed
Maybe I'm just a stone rolling down into the sea
Maybe all that is bullshit and I'm just afraid to say
That I've got some problems that I don't want to face

I could blame it all on the constellations and the sun
Or how my daddy liked to show me how fast he could run
And I hate it that my momma never fell back in love
There's a long list of things I'm runnin' from
On this Greyhound bus now
