Standard (EADGBE)

Catch a ride on a northbound bus

'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here

Could have cried for the way it was

But there's no one left to dry my tears

When I think of how it used to be

When we all played together just for fun

Didn't matter who was right or wrong

Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming

I think I've been around too long

You and I were the best of friends

Well I think it was a thousand years

Now good bye this is where it ends

'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here

When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble

It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song

Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming

I think I've been around too long

Solo

When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble

It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song

Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming

I think I've been around too long

Catch a ride on a northbound bus

'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here

Could have cried for the way it was

But there's no one left to dry my tears

When I think of how it used to be

When we all played together just for fun

Nobody had to come on strong

Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming

I think I've been around too long, around too long
