Your old man got mad when I told him we were leaving
   D      C      D  C  D   C  D  C  D  C   G
He cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceiling
   G      F       G    F      G  F  G   F    G  F   Em
He called you his child, said honey get wise to his game
      G   F      G  F      G        F     G    F   G   F   Em
He'll get you in trouble I know it, those bums are all the same
          D   C     D  C    D  C   D     C    D       C   G
There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us
   D    C   D   C  /B Am7      D7sus4          D
So tell him goodbye,  we gotta go west on that bus

         G
And it's all over now
          Bm
Don't you worry no more
C                     G   Gsus4 G
Gonna go west to the sea
C    G
The greyhound is swaying
        Bm
And the radio is playing
     C                  D
Some blues for baby and me
        Bm                    Em
And the highway looks like it never did
        Am                     G   C
Lord it looks so sweet and so free
      G                      Bm
And I can't forget that trip to the west
        C         D7       C
Singing blues for baby and me

Saw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surprise
It's ninety in the shade babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky
I called you my child, said honey now this is our game
There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again
There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us
So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus
