…to get this thing off the ground
I'm on top of the Greyhound station
Won't you please come home?
I'm on top of the Greyhound station
Won't…
…station
Won't you please come home?
I'm on top of the Greyhound station
Won't you please come home?
Oh, come home
I'm on top of the Greyhound…
…station
Won't you please, won't you please come home?
I'm on top of the Greyhound station
Won't you please…

Railroad station, midnight trains
Lonely airports in the rain
And somebody stands there
With tears in their eyes
It's…
…the same old scene, time after time
That's the trouble with all mankind
Somebody's always saying goodbye
Taxi cabs leave…
…in the night
Greyhound buses with red tail lights
Someone's leaving and someone's left behind
Well, I don't know how things got…
Railroad station, Midnight trains
Lonely airports in the rain
And somebody stands there with tears in their eyes
It's…
…the same old scene, time after time
That's the trouble with all mankind
Somebody's always sayin' goodbye
Taxi cabs leave…
…in the night
Greyhound buses with red tail lights
Someone's leavin' and someone's left behind
Well I don't know how things got…
I was standin' at the Greyhound bus station
When my little woman stepped on board
I was standin' at the Greyhound bus station…
When my little woman stepped on board
Well I was just standin' there thinkin'
Come back baby please don't go
Well when that Greyhound…
…bus was leavin'
With my little woman all inside
When that Greyhound bus was leavin'
With my little woman all inside
Lord Po…
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…
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…
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…
…one kind favor to get back on my feet
Lost my ticket for a Greyhound bus when it left me in the dust and gone away
Man at the station…
…help me please
Pardon me sir, you've got a dime?
I'm trying to find my way back to New Orleans
I did my time in Baton Rouge…
…to find a seat.
Lost my ticket for a Greyhound bus when it left me in the dust and gone away
Now all I'm asking…
…before I wake
Please God walk with me
Grab a nigga and take me to Heaven

Many times I was stuck up at the Greyhound…

Pull over please, now look at your wannabe bleedin knees
Sunflower seeds all over your Bentley floor
Train monkeys…

To the record labels I'm more iller
Adrenaline rush
8 gallons of urine packed in Dolce Gabbana bags
Under the Greyhound bus…
…furiously
Now you got the toxic waste on your back window
Who can see? Pull over at the service station
You in a nervous station…

Got some money in my pocket, got my ticket in my hand
Ain't got time to talk, ain't got time to explain
Ain't gonna ride a Greyhound…
We'll be steamin' up the windows in that yellow taxi cab
I got one more thing to do before I let that hammer fall
Hotel operator please hold all my calls…
To get enough for a one-way fare
And a taxi to the nearest Greyhound bus
Made a call, mom said please come home to us
