performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
D G D On a greyhound bus,Lord i'm traveling this morning
G D I'm going to Shreveport and on down to New Orleans
G D Been driving these highways,been doing things my way
C/G G D It's been making me lonesome,on'ry and mean
Verse 2:
D G D Now her hair was jet black,and her name was Codiene
G D Thought she was the cream of the Basin Street queens
G D She got tired of that smokey whine dream
C/G G D Began to feel lonesome,on'ry and mean
Verse 3:
D G D We got together,and we cashed in our sweeps
G D Gave them to a beggar who was mumbling through the streets
G D There's no escaping from his snowy white dreams
C/G G D Born lookin' lonesome,on'ry and mean
Verse 4:
D G D Now i'm down in this valley,where the wheels turn so low
G D At dawn i pray,to the Lord of my soul
G D I say do Lord,do right by me
C/G G D I'm tired of being lonesome,on'ry and mean
