When I checked in to South Carolina, I was livin' on bread and beans
Well, I had to go to places I know and places I had never seen
Well, I got me a girl from the mid-west country who sure knew the way around
So we left Jake’s Bar in the big fast car and now I'm Arizona bound

We took the highway out to Salt Lake City, around the Colorado Ridge
Without a kick or a shove I just fell in love out on the Mississippi Bridge
If I had the respect for this real fine lady, I'd tell her where my soul is at
I gotta find me a job, I didn’t know she could rob me, I must have been a real dumb cat

Get me back to Buffalo Station, I never need take another vacation
Working overtime at Buffalo Station, that's where I belong
Give me a ticket to Buffalo Station, I couldn't wish for a greater occupation
Get me back to Buffalo Station, that's where I belong

The law came down, took hold of my daddy, so he had to send me all his dough
When a real cool guy in an old school tie came over on the radio
There's a beautiful girl from the North State prison who stole the money and my name
So I'm scrubbing the bins in that Holiday Inn to make it on the road again

Get me back to Buffalo Station, I never need take another vacation
Working overtime at Buffalo Station, that's where I belong
Give me a ticket to Buffalo Station, I couldn't wish for a greater occupation
Get me back to Buffalo Station, that’s where I belong

When I checked in to South Carolina, I was livin’ on bread and beans
Well, I had to go to places I know and places I had never seen
Well, I got me a girl from the mid-west country, who sure knew the way around

Get me back to Buffalo Station, I never need take another vacation
Working overtime at Buffalo Station, that's where I belong
Give me a ticket to Buffalo Station, I couldn't wish for a greater occupation
Na na na na, Buffalo Station, that's where I belong

If you see my woman on your way back home
Tell her I’ll be gone but I won't be long
Well, I set off in the mornin' with a no good pair of shoes
My guitar's alright, so I can play all night

Get on down, get on down to Memphis
Where the steel guitar man plays so hard, it'll blow you down
Down, down, get on down to Memphis
The one back door in the record store could help me if I get on down

If you see my baby goin' on down the road
With her blue drawers on, well, they'll soon be gone
It's no good feelin' angry, makes no sense at all
No matter who you are, be a rock on star

Get on down, get on down to Memphis
Where the steel guitar man plays so hard, it'll blow you down
Goin' down, down, get on down to Memphis
The one back door in the record store could help me if I get on down

If you see my woman on your way back home
Tell her I'll be gone but I won't be long
Well, I set of in the mornin' with a no good pair of shoes
My guitar's alright, so I can play all night
Get on down, get on down to Memphis
Where the steel guitar man plays so hard, it'll blow you down
Down, down, down, down, get on down to Memphis
The one back door in the record store could help me if I get on down

Get on down, get on down to Memphis
Where the steel guitar man plays so hard, it'll blow you down
Down, down, get on down to Memphis
The one back door in the record store could help me if I get on down
