Lyrics
On a Greyhound bus
I'm travelin' this mornin'
I'm goin' to Shreveport
And down to New Orleans
Travelin' these highways
Doin' things wild
Makin' me lonesome on Ritten Lane
Her hair was jet black
And her name was Codeine
She thought she was the cream
Of the Mesa Street queens
But she got tired
Of that smokey-eyed dream
Got her feelin' lonesome on Ritten Lane
Yeah, we got together
We cashed in our streaks
We gave 'em to a beggar
Who was mumblin' in the street
Now there's no escaping
From his snowy white dreams
Born lookin' lonesome on Ritten Lane
I'm down in this valley
Where the wheels turn so low
And at dawn I pray
To the Lord of my soul
And I say, "Do Lord, do Lord, do Lord, do remember me
You know I'm tired of bein' lonesome on Ritten Lane"
