Thank God and Greyhound

by Roy Clark

v.1
I've made a small fortune, and you squandered it all
You shamed me til I feel about one inch tall
But I thought I loved you, and hoped you would change
So I gritted my teeth, and didn't complain

Now you come to me with a simple good-bye
You tell me you're leavin' but you don't tell me why
Now we're here at the station, and you're getting on
And all I can think of is...

Refrain I:
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
I didn't know how much longer I could go on

Watchin' you take the respect outta me
Watchin you make a total wreck outta me
That big diesel motor is a-playin' my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone

Refrain II:
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
That load on my mind got lighter when you got on

That shiny ol' bus is a beautiful sight
With the black smoke a-rollin' up around the taillights
It may sound kinda cruel but I been silent too long
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
