Verse:
I did my time in Baton Rouge, in Birmingham and Huston, too,
but all I ever see
Was weary faces just like mine, waiting in endless lines,
just'a trying to find a seat.
Chorus:
Lost their tickets for a Greyhound bus,
when it left them in the dust and gone away.
Now all they're asking is for you to help their cause,
'cause they're going a long way.
They're walking 40 days and nights under the Texas sun,
won't someone help them please?
Spare just a dollar or a dime,
they're trying to find their way back to New Orleans.
