Lyrics

On a greyhound bus
Lord I'm traveling this morning
I'm going to shreveport and on down to new orleans
Been driving these highways
Been doing things my way
It's been making me lonesome on'ry and mean

Now her hair was jet black
And her name was codene
Thought she was the cream of the basin street queens
She got tired
Of that smokey whine dream
Began to feel lonesome on'ry and mean

(Instrumental break)

We got together
And we cashed in our sweeps
Gave 'em to a beggar
Who was mumbling through the streets
There's no escaping
From his snowy white dreams
Born lookin' lonesome on'ry and mean

Now I'm down in this valley
Where the wheels turn so low
At dawn I pray
To the lord of my soul
I say do lord
Do right by me
You know I'm tired of being lonesomeon'ry and mean

Yodelayeeee..
