Thank God and Greyhound
I've made a small fortune
And you squandered it all
You shamed me
Till I feel about one inch tall
But I thought I loved you
And I hoped you would change
So I gritted my teeth
And didn't complain
Now you come to me
With a simple goodbye
You tell me you're leaving
But you won't tell me why
Now we're here at the station
And you're getting on
And all I can think of is
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
I didn't know how much longer
I could go on
Watching you take
The respect out of me
Watching you make
A total wreck out of me
That big diesel motor
Is a-playin' my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
I didn't know how much longer
I could go on
Watching you take
The respect out of me
Watching you make
A total wreck out of me
That big diesel motor
Is a-playin' my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Oh, thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
That load on my mind got lighter
When you got on
That shiny old bus
Is a beautiful sight
With the black smoke a-rollin'
Up around the tail lights
It may sound kinda cruel
But I've been silent too long
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
And you squandered it all
You shamed me
Till I feel about one inch tall
But I thought I loved you
And I hoped you would change
So I gritted my teeth
And didn't complain
Now you come to me
With a simple goodbye
You tell me you're leaving
But you won't tell me why
Now we're here at the station
And you're getting on
And all I can think of is
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
I didn't know how much longer
I could go on
Watching you take
The respect out of me
Watching you make
A total wreck out of me
That big diesel motor
Is a-playin' my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
I didn't know how much longer
I could go on
Watching you take
The respect out of me
Watching you make
A total wreck out of me
That big diesel motor
Is a-playin' my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Oh, thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
That load on my mind got lighter
When you got on
That shiny old bus
Is a beautiful sight
With the black smoke a-rollin'
Up around the tail lights
It may sound kinda cruel
But I've been silent too long
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
