Greyhound Bound For Anywhere

Please don’t be mad at me for callin’.

Saw this phone and I had to dial.

We left so many things unspoken,

thought we could talk for just a while.



Now I’m not sayin’ you owe me anything.

My memories are my souvenirs,

like all those cherry lipstick "love-you-baby"s

you scribbled on faded motel mirrors.



Now, I’m Greyhound bound for anywhere.

I told the man, "The next bus’ll do."

They’re callin’ the Twelve-twenty for Tupelo.

Just one thing before I go.

Tell me, is he good to you?



I talked it over with Hadley.

He’s still out there off of Highway 10.

If anybody could explain it.

I figured good old Hadley can.

His wrinkled hands upon the table.

He said, "I hate to break the news,

but sometimes there ain’t no explainin’

the things a woman’ll put you through."

Well, should you ever think of me

I’ll let Hadley know where I’m stayin’.

In the meanwhile, I’ll get over you.

‘Least that’s what I’m prayin’ for.
