I've made a small fortune and you squandered it all 
You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall 
But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change 
So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain 

Now you come to me with a simple goodbye 
You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why 
Now we're here at the station and you're getting on 
And all I can think of is thank God and Greyhound you're gone 

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone 
I didn't know how much longer I could go on 
Watching you take the respect out of me 
Watching you make a total wreck out of me 
That big diesel motor is a-playing my song 
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone 

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone 
That load on my mind got lighter when you got on 
That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight 
With the black smoke a-rolling up around the taillight 
It may sound kind-a cruel but I've been silent too long 
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone 
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
