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

20 years years ago, I walked down the aisle
Got off the bus, and thought I’d stay a while
I left my home and family back about 5000 miles
[Many] 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
