Lyrics
On a Greyhound bus
I'm riding this morning
Goin' down to Shreveport, New Orleans
Been rambling these highways
And doing things my way
Been making me lonesome, ornery, and mean
Yeah, her hair was jet black
And her name was Bodine
She thought she was the queen
Of the Basin Street scene
But everybody gets tired
Of a smoky wine dream
She began looking lonesome, ornery, and mean
Yeah, so we got together
And we cursed and we sweaped
We gave him the sound, that girl
He was mumbling through the streets
He stood there escaping
From his snowy white dream
He began looking lonesome, ornery, and mean
So I'm down in this valley here
Where the wheels turn so low
At dawn I pray
To the lord of my soul
Say, come on, lord
Why don't you help me jump clean?
I'm tired of being lonesome, ornery, and mean
Thank you
