Clay Pigeons Lyrics - Fair And Square - John Prine

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride 

Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side 

Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times 

Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat 

Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet 

and get along with it all 

Go down where the people say "y'all" 

Sing a song with a friend 

Change the shape that I'm in, 

And get back in the game, 

And start playin' again

I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again 

Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that I've never been 

And get up in the mornin' and go out at night 

and I won't have to go home 

Get used to bein' alone 

Change the words to this song 

Start singin' again 

I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know 

I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go 

Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again 

Feed the pigeons some clay 

Turn the night into day 

Start talkin' again, when I know what to say 

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride 

Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side 

Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times 

Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat 

Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet 

And get along with it all
