The Greyhound Bus Song

[Verse 1]
I took a trip to Buloxi, Mississippi on the
Greyhound Bus today
Raymond said the southern man's a genuinely
Genteel man in southern gothic style
I took the night train to the ocean at the edge
Of Alabama yesterday
Raymond said the ocean sands they glisten
Like the pictures from the magazines

[Chorus]
You can forget your troubles
Maybe chase the blues away
Maybe come back better some day
On Greyhound, on Greyhound!

[Verse 2]
I took the redeye through the
Tallahassee swamplands on silverstream today
Raymond said the alligators smile with teeth
As big as highway traffic cones
I took the redeye to Miami just to
Lounge around the beach all day
Raymond said the souther men, they
Glisten like the pictures in the magazines

[Chorus]
You can forget your troubles
Maybe chase the blues away
Maybe come back some far off day
On Greyhound, on Greyhound!

[Verse 3]
I took a trip down to New Orleans
Yesteryday to have my dog day afternoon
Raymond said the graveyards are a
Haunting southern vision far from
Tourist crowds
I took a trip down to New Orleans
Yesterday to get away from it all
Raymond said I'd soon forget the
Time we never spent in New York City

[Chorus]
Youc an forget your troubles
Maybe chase the blues away
Maybe come back a new man some day
On Greyhound, on Greyhound!
