Greyhound Goin’ Somewhere

Bobbie Gentry

Record Details

Released
1969

Written by Michael Martin Murphey, Bill Dorsey

There ain’t much time to say goodbye
But let me try while we have a last cup of coffee
The love you need I couldn’t give
The life I lead you wouldn’t want to live

Believe me
So ride me to the station and I’ll be on my way
There’s a greyhound goin’ somewhere
And I just want to say

I’m leavin’, there’s a Greyhound goin’ somewhere
Think I might just go there too
Well, I could stay another day
But I’m afraid you’ll want me to say I love you

It’s not that I won’t
It’s just that I don’t want
To leave another heart behind me breakin’

So ride me to the station and I’ll be on my way
There’s a Greyhound going somewhere
And I just want to say

I’m leavin’, there’s a Greyhound going somewhere
Think I might just go there too
I’m leavin’

Detroit, Cincinnati, Seattle
Chattanooga, Kansas City, Dallas
San Francisco, maybe LA, Nashville
