[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 Tallaha**ee 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!
