Verse 1:
                                                   
	On a greyhound bus,Lord i'm traveling this morning
                                                      
	I'm going to Shreveport and on down to New Orleans
                                                      
	Been driving these highways,been doing things my way
                                             
	It's been making me lonesome,on'ry and mean


Verse 2:
                                                      
	Now her hair was jet black,and her name was Codiene
                                                       
	Thought she was the cream of the Basin Street queens
                                         
	She got tired of that smokey whine dream
                                       
	Began to feel lonesome,on'ry and mean


Verse 3:
                                              
	We got together,and we cashed in our sweeps
                                                             
	Gave them to a beggar who was mumbling through the streets
                                                  
	There's no escaping from his snowy white dreams
                                      
	Born lookin' lonesome,on'ry and mean


Verse 4:
                                                            
	Now i'm down in this valley,where the wheels turn so low
                                         
	At dawn i pray,to the Lord of my soul
                                 
	I say do Lord,do right by me
                                            
	I'm tired of being lonesome,on'ry and mean
