Clay Pigeons — Blaze Foley
Chords and lyrics for Clay Pigeons by Blaze Foley (key of C).
Chorus
I'm goin' [C]down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a [F]ticket to ride
Gonna [C]find that lady with two or three kids and sit [G]down by her side
[C]Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout [F]two or three times
Smokin' [C]cigarettes in the last seat
[G]Try and hide my sorrow from the people I meet
Verse
And get [C]along with it all
Go [F]down where the people say "y'all"..
Sing a [C]song with a friend
Change the [G]shape that I'm in,
And get [C]back in the game,
And start [F]playin' [C]again[C][G]
Verse
[C]I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start [F]over again
Might go [C]back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that [G]I've never been
And [C]get up in the mornin' and go out at night
And I won't [F]have to go home
Get used to [C]bein' alone
Change the [G]words to this song
Start [C]singin' [F][C]again[C][G]
(Repeat Intro)
Verse
I'm tired of [C]runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I [F]already
know
I could [C]build me a castle of memories just to have [G]somewhere to go
Count the [C]days and the nights that it takes to get back in the [F]saddle again
Feed the [C]pigeons some clay
Turn the [G]night into day
Start [C]talkin' again, when I [F]know what to [C]say[G]
Chorus
