I been stuck here in this town
Ever since they shut the greyhound down
Don't have a car or the money it takes
To buy a ticket and fly away
I been stuck here in this town
Ever since they shut the greyhound down
I got a job, it don't pay much
I got habits like drinking and such
Somewhere between the smoke and dreams, it seems I lost my touch
I got a job, it don't pay much
I been stuck here in this town
Ever since they shut the greyhound down
Don't have a car or the money it takes
To buy a ticket and fly away
I been stuck here in this town
Ever since they shut the greyhound down
I loved a girl but she didn't love me
She was smart and pretty as a Georgia peach
She left me for the fancy man, with all the money and keys
I loved a girl but she didn't love me
Instrumental over chorus
Twenty years ago, I walked down the aisle
Stepped off that bus, thought I'd stay a while'
I left my home and family back about 5000 miles
Twenty years ago, I walked down the aisle
I been stuck here in this town
Ever since they shut the greyhound down
Don't have a car or the money it takes
To buy a ticket and fly away
I been stuck here in this town
Ever since they shut the greyhound down
