I'm goin' down to the railway station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Find a big, fat lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride till the Sun comes up and down
Around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet

And get along with it all
Go down where the people say: Y'all
Sing a song with a friend
Change the shape that I'm in
And get back in the game
And start playin' again

I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again
Might go back down to Texas, or might
Go to somewhere that I've never been
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
And I won't have to go home
Get used to bein' alone
Change the words to this song
Start singin' again

I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for
Answers to questions that I already know
I could build me a castle of memories
Just to have somewhere to go
Count the days and the nights that it
Takes to get back in the saddle again
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again, when I know what to say

I'm goin' down to the greyhound station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Find a big fat lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride till the Sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
And get along with it all

Go down where the people say: Y'all
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again
When I know what to say
