Greyhound from Jackson Songtext
von Tim Lee

Goddamn it′s freezing here
Where I hold this sign
But I found some socks
To put on my hands
I see you staring ahead
Maybe look the other way
I'm invisible now
But that was never my plan

Pretended I was asleep
On that Greyhound from Jackson
Somebody shook my shoulder
When I got here
Now I′m down on the corner
It's cold, I don't know where to go
Mister, can you buy me a beer?


You don′t think too much of me
This I can easily see
But that′s no concern of
Yours or mine
If I didn't need your help
I′d tell you all to go to hell
I was like you once
But that was another time

Pretended I was asleep
On that Greyhound from Jackson
Somebody shook my shoulder
When I got here
Now I'm down on the corner
It′s cold, I don't know where to go
Mister, can you buy me a beer?

And I got a dollar
Burn a hole in my pants
I′d like something to drink
To take this bitter taste from my mouth
But I guess I'll save it
Towards some place to stay
It's a few more days
Before I′m far enough south


Pretended I was asleep
On that Greyhound from Jackson
Somebody shook my shoulder
When I got here
Now I′m down on the corner
It's cold, I don′t know where to go
Mister, can you buy me a beer?
Mister, can you buy me a beer?
Mister, can you buy me a beer?
