At a Greyhound Station, Desperate
[Verse 1]
Your heart's been beating through your chest
War your body hasn’t declared yet
It's been in conflict a long time
We just don't call it what it is
You dyed your hair and you slicked it back
Always trying to get yourself back on the right track
Moving every couple years
A new city, a new state
But you always find your way back here
Between a rock and a hard place
[Verse 2]
Sunday dinner at your parents’ house
You were all hyped up on some
Unknown kind of speed
Your father gave his old lecture
You fought defensively
You ran out of patience and you asked me for a ridе
Grabbed a duffle bag and raced off into thе night
Sayin', "This time it's gonna be different, man
I got connections up in Michigan
I just gotta find a way outta here before shit gets weird"
[Chorus]
At a Greyhound Station
Waiting on a way out of town
Desperation knows no bounds
[Bridge]
The drive out you were silent
You drank a tall boy from a brown paper bag
We listened to the game on the radio
And stared endlessly out the window
We weren't bound by surname or blood
But life found a way of making brothers out of us
"Thanks for the ride, see you soon my friend"
Yeah, that was the last I ever heard from him
And then I watched you disappear in a rearview mirror
[Chorus]
At a Greyhound Station
Waiting on a way out of town
Desperation knows no bounds
At a Greyhound Station
Waiting on a way out of town
Desperation knows no bounds
