Outside of Memphis
just after midnight
got on the Grayhound
and he sat next to me
He said,
"Ain't no pathway that I'm looking for.
Ain't no end to the line
I think I shouldn't think about it all that much
I guess I shouldn't think about it all the time"
He had a woman
He had a family
he got restless
now he just doen't care (ch)
After a while you lose direction
Follow the first path that you see
and you say,
"I never thoght that this could happen
could never happen to me"
Here comes the Blue Drifter
Lost on the highway
Talks in a whisper
And he looks just like me
