My husband and my first date was to a Roy Clark concert . We both had exs and when he sang this, it immediatly became "our song". We've now been married 38 years, have 3 sons and 5 grandsons.
Lol I picked this song after a recent breakup! I loved that girl thought even if things didn’t go right we could still be friends and continue skating together and relic hunting river beds. After 4 days of not hearing from her and her last text “don’t ever contact me again”. I really needed this and it’s totally fitting! Got too big of a heart to deal with people like that! Congrats on the long life together! ❤️
It's now been almost 51 years. We have grandchild number seven due in June and great grandchild number eight due in August. So blessed. It's been twenty six years since our last grandchild was born, so this one is a complete surprise. @@mainstmechanical7932
Many years ago my father, who had recently divorced my mother - a woman right out of this song, was attending a Roy Clark concert at a small venue. At some point in the show Roy opened the floor for requests, and my father immediately shouted out for this song. Roy winked at my dad and started right into it!
My Dad has always been a huge music fan of many, which is where I got my love for music too. I am a huge fan of way too many to list. Dad would play this & thousands of other songs the whole time I grew up & his most favorite Roy Clark song was Yesterday When I Was Young. Dad would sing along or even whistle along to the beat of Roys fast pickin & guitar playing. Really neat & true to. Roy was 1 of the best ever. :)
This was one of my dad's favorite songs, and it was always so fitting. He put up with my mom's crap for over 60 years while she squandered his money, would shame him constantly, and he'd just take the abuse. He was always afraid that she'd take him for everything and that it was just cheaper to keep her. So sad and tragic. When he passed this spring from cancer, as sad as it was and as heartbroken as I still am, I know now that he's finally free. My mom went into a nursing home a short while after he died, and I cranked this song on full blast. This song could have only been written by someone who lived it. To my dad, you're finally free, enjoy your reward, and thank God and Greyhound she's GONE!!!
After 40 years---Dec. 23, 2012--- my wife up and left! I was devastated-----yeh, I was devastated that she didn't leave 39 years sooner!! Roy, I couldn't have nailed it any better than YOU did-----thanks!
In 1973 Roy Clark gave a concert on Fort Huachuca, AZ. I had a beautiful red head from Nashville on my arm. She had told me Roy Clark had been to her parents home. Just after Roy started this song, he stopped and asked where MS XX was, and gave her a note from her parents. She looked just like Reba Mcentire, red hair and all... and I think of her fondly when I hear this song or see Reba...so, if you ever see this post, give me a call...
Great song. reminds me of my 2nd ex wife. She took off with a Marine and the checkbook. I went to a bar that night and played this song until closiing then went home with a drunk barfly. Had to take out a loan to paythe mortgage but it was worth it. Last I heard, her new (3rd) husband used to beat her regularly.- poetic justice.
That is such a sad story. I hope that you can find the same true love that I have found. If you want true love never lie and give your next partner your true love!
In 1982 I got married in South Lake Tahoe, NV. We saw Roy Clark that weekend and I will never forget it. He was our theme for 31 years of marriage until my husband passed from Pancreatic Cancer. Roy brings me such great joy.
Seriously, how why does a person think I owe them??? 26 yrs of marriage, she packed and left. Now she wants me to pay her. She had 26 yrs to get a job. Any time I encouraged her, she had an issue at work. Her employer’s fault. I’m such an idiot. Now I’m paying for my foolishness. I was in love. Now I know I was in love with a truly evil person
I was at a community center where they serve meals to the elderly and on Thursdays, they have a band come in and have karaoke and one guy sang this song. I always liked watching Hee-Haw with my Mother, so this brings back fond memories.
Roy was great at singing songs of regret (Tips of My Fingers, Yesterday When I was Young), and at the same he had an upbeat, cheerful personality. This song perfectly captures both of those qualities.
My girlfriend doesn't know too much about Roy Clark so today when I was singing this song in the shower, she took it to heart and thought I was singing about her. It almost started a real fight until I had her listen to this video. Thank God You had it posted here. :-)
Dad did 25 years as a greyhound union man. This is the song he and mom sang when me, the youngest of five children in the last too leave the house too Marine Corps recruit depot, San Diego.
I know. I can still remember the 1st time I heard this. So sad I was getting a little teary. lol Then when it got to the fabulous punch line I cracked up! Pure genius.
Thank God and Greyhound" is a song made famous by American country musician Roy Clark. Written by Larry Kingston and John Edward Nix, the song was released in 1970 as the second single to the album I Never Picked Cotton.
OH MY GAWD!!! I first heard this song by Roy over 30 years ago. And here I am today, laughing so hard I am crying! Thanks, Wilburscott, and I don't give a hoot about the pops and clicks. This is one of the funniest songs recorded. Ever. Happy 2010!
"Forgive the pops and clicks from time to time, it's from vinyl!" I like it, makes it feel like I'm actually listening to a turntable and not an audio file!
+SpeedyNeutrino172 It can also fit for some MOTHERs of grown children! My son is 45 yrs old, I LOVE him with ALL my heart! BUT, when he comes home to visit, he turns MY life so upside down with his *ways* that...when he boards that GreyDog, I pull out of the parking lot singing this song every time!
A quick pointer here... The different comments to this song goes to show that the problems are not restricted to just WOMEN or MEN, YOUNG OR OLD...Its unfortunate that we have these problems..PERIOD. But, let the appropriate parties be GONE when they cause bad problems.
I want all the young men to listen to this song from the beginning it'll help you understand about certain women and what they want it took me over 40 years to understand
Dad weened me on country music and this was one of the all time self awareness moments of life that country music taught me! Not to mention a greater appreciation for the God given talent of the incomparable legendary Mr. Roy Clark! By the way in his prime Mr. Roy was one of the top five if not number one Guitarist in the World! Don and forget he was master of double neck guitar 🎸 and banjo!
The best music out there is definitely the old ones. If you like Roy Clark, you will like Boxcar Willie Wabash Cannonball, Mel Tillis Coca Cola Cowboy, George Jones I Don't Need Your Rockin Chair or Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes, Tom T Hall The Year That Clayton Delaney Died, Ronnie Milsap There Aint No Gettin Over Me, Mickey Gilley You Don't Know Me, Earl Thomas Conley, Johnny Counterfit, Johnny Cash A Boy Named Sue, Ray Price For The Good Times, Eddy Arnold Cattle Call, I Don't Even Know Your Name by Alan Jackson, Roger Miller, Ray Stevens, Cledus T. Judd, Vince Gill One More Last Chance, Heres A Quarter Call Someone Who Cares Travis Tritt, Kiss This Aaron Tippin, Marty Stuart, Johnny Paycheck Take This Job & Shove It, Waylon Jennings Amanda, Don Williams I Believe In You, Hank Williams Jr Id Love To Knock The Hell Out Of You or If You Don't Like Hank Williams, Willie Nelson If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time or Always On My Mind or On The Road Again, & tons more. These have all been just a very small portion of my world's long list of favorite songs by many different artists. All of those songs above & others by the artists mentioned above are definitely worth a listen. :)
Love all of these old songs and Roy Clark is certainly one of the all time greats. If records expired after 10 years and you couldn't listen to them anymore, I just wouldn't listen to anything today because there would be no music left.
Reminds me of a neighbor woman, out in the road throwing rocks at her husband's car as it drove away. She shouted "Dear Lord, thank you for making Fords reliable to keep running long enough to take that man away from me!" This couple's fights were epic and that lady was no shrinking violet. Unlike her husband she never used naughty words. She had a wild collection of insults without them. Calling him Festering Pig Guts was the least of them.
Grey hound was a great bus line back when this was written i use to kick back and enjoy the ride we had another one here also called carolina trailways they were nice to.this song from cousin roy brings back memories from the beveryhillbilly days.💈🎣🚆🚇🚎🚄🚃🚂🚝🚞🚢✈🚁⛵🚥
So many of us fit this song so well, especially the part about squandering a small fortune, and shaming you til you feel one tall. That big diesel motor is singing my song.
1st time I heard this song I thought ‘what a stinker’ but I wanted to see how the story ended. Then when it hit “thank God & Greyhound your gone” I cracked up!!! One of my favorite songs. RIP
my mom always used to say this saying. never knew why but it popped in my head today so I Google it and here I am. lol good song. can't wait to tell her.
Lyrics 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
Roy still IS one of the greats. Still doing shows in Branson, last I heard. He's one of the finest guitarists I've ever laid eyes on. And this song, is solid GOLD... right there with "Yesterday When I Was Young", and Malaguena, which is just an amazing song to watch him play.
I actually played this FOR my dad at a hog auction in Hubbard Texas . He liked Big Band and I have no idea how he missed it ,, but he loved it . This was approx 2001 .
Here's the thing... I was talking with my husband about that *exact* thing. I searched for a copy to play for him, and found yours. I cued it up and could hear my Dad singing along!!! When it got to the refrain, it had the exact opposite reaction as intended - I got all freakin' misty! Sheesh! Spot-on observation, though. Straight up.
While visiting Branson awhile back on vacation, I was fortunate enough to sit in the Roy Clark celebrity theater and see this legendery man perform on stage. This was the first song that he sang after a little introduction at the beginning. I must say it, this was one of the best concerts LIVE i've ever been to IN MY LIFE!!! Thanks Mr Clark for a wonderful show!!! You're the greatest Roy:):):):)
+tom brown I met Roy Clark in person in Tulsa back in the late 70's! Never would have known him if a friend had not pointed him out to me! Roy was at a auto repair shop where my friend worked. My friend worked on Roy's vehicles, and knew him personally! OFF stage, behind the scenes...he looks & acts like *regular* people! GREAT person!
+MrRichDavid I am 62 and I can remember the very first time I heard this. All sad at the beginning (I was getting weepy) then BAM! It cracked me up. What a classic.
+Mack Roebuck The first time I heard this I was thinking about changing stations on the radio when he changed the tempo. That had to be in the mid-80s when my wife left me and I was so relieved.
Roy Clark; who once worked with the sausage king, Jimmy Dean and later with Buck Owens, has left us. This was one of my favorites, right behind "Yesterday..." Gonna miss him. RIP, my friend.
I grew up on Hee Haw and this was one of the songs my cousins and I used to sing along with when it came on the radio. My cousin Terry and I used to know all or most of the "Where,Oh Where Are You Tonight"? numbers too.
Been one of my favorite songs for what? Seems like forever! I can so envision that black smoke a rolling up!....I've ridden Greyhound only once over 50 years ago.
Hahahahahahaha! Oh, good Lord, this is funny and I love it! It applies both ways. I just sent this to my niece who is experiencing a miserable time with a guy whose chasing a really young skirt. He's 70. God, I hope she appreciates this tune!

One of my Roy Clark favorites...scratches and all!!😊😊😊

God Bless your Dad. I bet his life was peaceful and fun when he was finally free.
I am right there with your Dad, that is an awesome story
This IS, MY, song!
Love it! My Mom and I were just talking about this today. My Granddaddy wrote this song, Ed Nix... RIP Granddaddy!
That's awesome!!

Great song ! Your Granddaddy was a major talent !
It’s a great song. But believe me, a lot of us guys have at least thought something similar 😂
Sure helped me with this crap I'm dealing with
Country tunes from that era had some of the best lyrics. Nothing like it today!
That's because the writers and artists back then had TALENT. 😊😊😊
Nothing beats the element of surprise the first time you hear this classic
The world became a lonelier place when Ol RoyClark passed on. RIP Ol friend.

I drove the Greyhound for 30 years out of New Orleans.I always said that this was my wife`s favorite song.
😆
This man was SUCH an accomplished musician and you hardly ever hear about his talent anymore. RIP Roy 😘
As long as there are women and men, and you tube his name may live on!
Hello Lisa how are you doing!!
I dedicated this song to my ex-wife on our 1 year anniversary of here leaving me. Words to live by!
This may be a simple little song...but the story and the heartfelt emotions are worth a million dollars.
RIP Roy Clark,man, you’re one of a kind...

I guessing that you got married in the Love
Chapel at the bottom of Kingsbury grade. So did my first wife and I in 1979..
So sorry for your loss. We just found out my daughter in law has pancreatic cancer too. They found it very early so we're praying God will heal her.
I think of my ex ,Ms. Satan, every time I hear this song. It is a great one.
The Devil doesn't scare me.
I was married to his sister for 5 years.
I was married to Satan's brother for a year, and shipped him off with on a greyhound.
Seriously, how why does a person think I owe them??? 26 yrs of marriage, she packed and left. Now she wants me to pay her. She had 26 yrs to get a job.

My mum would sing this about my old man while doing dishes, RIP Mum.
Roy was great at singing songs of regret (Tips of My Fingers, Yesterday When I was Young), and at the same he had an upbeat, cheerful personality. This song perfectly captures both of those qualities.

Dad did 25 years as a greyhound union man. This is the song he and mom sang when me, the youngest of five children in the last too leave the house too Marine Corps recruit depot, San Diego.
I have always dedicated this song to my first wife!
Whoever 'penned' this tune is a (song writing) GENIUS!
I know. I can still remember the 1st time I heard this. So sad I was getting a little teary. lol Then when it got to the fabulous punch line I cracked up! Pure genius.
Thank God and Greyhound" is a song made famous by American country musician Roy Clark. Written by Larry Kingston and John Edward Nix, the song was released in 1970 as the second single to the album I Never Picked Cotton.
The post above say his granddaddy Ed Nix
@roxyie1122 Like I stated previously stated above, I am surprised thus song didn't become a crossover hit as it was both witty and go's darn FUNNY!
OH MY GAWD!!! I first heard this song by Roy over 30 years ago. And here I am today, laughing so hard I am crying! Thanks, Wilburscott, and I don't give a hoot about the pops and clicks. This is one of the funniest songs recorded. Ever.
Happy 2010!
Rip uncle Roy. As long as im alive, my pickin n grinnin will keep your music alive to us few.
"Forgive the pops and clicks from time to time, it's from vinyl!"
I like it, makes it feel like I'm actually listening to a turntable and not an audio file!
One time I had a record player that skipped a lot! It didn't matter what you put on there; sooner or later you'd hear a skip somewhere.
Absolute classic... I drove for Greyhound here in Australia, and always listened to country music to keep me spurred along! Love the old time country.
I found this song after telling my wife of 21 years to get out. There is a lot of truth in music if you listen to the words. I am much happier now.
There is a LOT of truth in this tune.....I advise all young men to listen to it with an open mind.
+SpeedyNeutrino172
It can also fit for some MOTHERs of grown children!
My son is 45 yrs old, I LOVE him with ALL my heart! BUT, when he comes home to visit, he turns MY life so upside down with his *ways* that...when he boards that GreyDog, I pull out of the parking lot singing this song every time!
+Joy Jenner LMAO, dear. I have a son who I love dearly but do NOT like. Hang in there.
I agree. I am thankful to have older men give me this education early in life. It will help me for many years to come!
Early #MGTOW Anthem?
A quick pointer here...
The different comments to this song goes to show that the problems are not restricted to just WOMEN or MEN, YOUNG OR OLD...Its unfortunate that we have these problems..PERIOD.
But, let the appropriate parties be GONE when they cause bad problems.
RIP Mr Clark. My god give you peace!
Always entertaining, professional, such a nice man!! Playing in Heaven for all those up there needing a smile!
Who am I Really ...And where are you getting that info..CNN?
😭😢😫
I like this song because it makes me happy
I want all the young men to listen to this song from the beginning it'll help you understand about certain women and what they want it took me over 40 years to understand
I played this song over and over again when I left ex heading for Calilfornia on a Greyhound Bus. It still pulls at my heart strings.
I had a friend (not girlfriend) who overstayed her welcome. I googled Thank God She's gone and this came up. Love it.
NOW THIS IS COUNTRY FROM A GREAT LEGEND
Tracy Humes ok no
Hardly a week goes by that I don't invoke this wonderful song.
I remember hearing this song for the first tme in a cafe jukebox in 1971. It's still funny.
When an X took a "HOUND" south and, left my life, I fell in love with this song.
She doesn't have to walk......she flies on her broom
Thanks for recommending it from a record.
Recording
I want this played at my funeral 😂
Was it played at your funeral?
I want Pop goes the Weasel played after the casket is closed at my funeral so everyone watches in horrified fascination.
@@doughesson Ha ha ha good one ty for the laugh today!
Surely people won't think of you that way!!
this song went to #6 on the country charts in 1970!!!
Also hit #90 on the pop charts.
One of the best Entertaniers We ever had/R.I.P. Roy.
Dad weened me on country music and this was one of the all time self awareness moments of life that country music taught me! Not to mention a greater appreciation for the God given talent of the incomparable legendary Mr. Roy Clark!

I don't listen to this type of music, but the second part is hilarious. My grandmother used to say "thank god and greyhound, they're gone!".
The best music out there is definitely the old ones. If you like Roy Clark, you will like Boxcar Willie Wabash Cannonball, Mel Tillis Coca Cola Cowboy, George Jones I Don't Need Your Rockin Chair or Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes, Tom T Hall The Year That Clayton Delaney Died, Ronnie Milsap There Aint No Gettin Over Me, Mickey Gilley You Don't Know Me, Earl Thomas Conley, Johnny Counterfit, Johnny Cash A Boy Named Sue, Ray Price For The Good Times, Eddy Arnold Cattle Call, I Don't Even Know Your Name by Alan Jackson, Roger Miller, Ray Stevens, Cledus T.

These have all been just a very small portion of my world's long list of favorite songs by many different artists. All of those songs above & others by the artists mentioned above are definitely worth a listen. :)
I can relate to this.
One of my dad's favorite songs. RIP.
Love all of these old songs and Roy Clark is certainly one of the all time greats. If records expired after 10 years and you couldn't listen to them anymore, I just wouldn't listen to anything today because there would be no music left.
I could have commented on this 40 years ago but Algore hadn't invented the internet yet. Fun song.
Reminds me of a neighbor woman, out in the road throwing rocks at her husband's car as it drove away. She shouted "Dear Lord, thank you for making Fords reliable to keep running long enough to take that man away from me!" This couple's fights were epic and that lady was no shrinking violet.

Dedicated to my ex-wife who moved out of my condo today.
you may be lucky if she don.t come back

Wow my song
I've got her.
What will you charge to take her back?
I can hock Grandma's wedding ring..
Grey hound was a great bus line back when this was written i use to kick back and enjoy the ride we had another one here also called carolina trailways they were nice to.this song from cousin roy brings back memories from the beveryhillbilly days.💈🎣🚆🚇🚎🚄🚃🚂🚝🚞🚢✈🚁⛵🚥
+Signalstat Steve Douglas I think it was Continental Trialways
I lived every word of this song. When she left for the last time I blasted this on my vintage hi-fi. RIP Mr. Clark😏
The sad story of too many men's lives. But they wouldn't want it any way
It's the same as when I listened to my vinyl! I like to hear every click and pop!
So many of us fit this song so well, especially the part about squandering a small fortune, and shaming you til you feel one tall. That big diesel motor is singing my song.
I haven't heard this one in many years. Sounds even better than I remember. Thanks for posting.
RIP ROY... we will miss you, and your talent!
I first heard this song in the Greyhound bus station in Memphis, Tennessee, 1976.
1st time I heard this song I thought ‘what a stinker’ but I wanted to see how the story ended. Then when it hit “thank God & Greyhound your gone” I cracked up!!! One of my favorite songs. RIP
If they had a contest for best country music title this would definitely be a contender.
Thanks for uploading it.
Nothing like the sound of Vinyl. Thanks for sharing.
This was always a favorite when I watched him on TV. Loved it.
Hello Charlotte how are you doing!!
A true classic and great to listen to after a hard day at work.
ALWAYS LOVED THIS AND ROY CLARK
Hello Judy how are you doing!!
It's from vinyl - I'm glad. I LOVE LISTENING TO RECORDS ! Thank You wilburscott
Saw him tonight at the opry in Nashville , getting up there in years still a good performer , I was hoping he would play this.
For all those of you who hate America, we'll be singing this after you've left to go live in that country you prefer.
What a classic. I have quietly hummed this to myself more then once, while trying very hard not to smile.....................
I love this
my mom always used to say this saying. never knew why but it popped in my head today so I Google it and here I am. lol good song. can't wait to tell her.
headbanger2867 dude my mom did too and I did the exact same thing you did today! And I can’t wait either too! Lol! Wtf??? Are we in a simulation??!
Just saw word of his passing, another country legend gone. RIP Roy Clark!
Lyrics
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
Hello Debby how are you doing!!
Thank you for the lyrics. The first time I heard this song I busted a gut laughing. 🤣
Roy still IS one of the greats. Still doing shows in Branson, last I heard. He's one of the finest guitarists I've ever laid eyes on.
And this song, is solid GOLD... right there with "Yesterday When I Was Young", and Malaguena, which is just an amazing song to watch him play.
Thumbs up if you're here because your dad played this for you when you were young.
not exactly I played this for my kids when they were young
I actually played this FOR my dad at a hog auction in Hubbard Texas . He liked Big Band and I have no idea how he missed it ,, but he loved it . This was approx 2001 .
Thought I was the only one!
It could be a Girl's song.
Here's the thing... I was talking with my husband about that *exact* thing. I searched for a copy to play for him, and found yours. I cued it up and could hear my Dad singing along!!! When it got to the refrain, it had the exact opposite reaction as intended - I got all freakin' misty! Sheesh!
Spot-on observation, though. Straight up.
One of my favorite pharses. Loved him and Buck on Hee Haw. Part of my childhood that will Never be forgotten. Miss Roy and Buck so much, dearly.
Today the world truly lost one of the greatest guitar players & musicians that as ever walked the planet. RIP Mr. Roy Clark.
he’s was one of the best.
While visiting Branson awhile back on vacation, I was fortunate enough to sit in the Roy Clark celebrity theater and see this legendery man perform on stage. This was the first song that he sang after a little introduction at the beginning. I must say it, this was one of the best concerts LIVE i've ever been to IN MY LIFE!!! Thanks Mr Clark for a wonderful show!!! You're the greatest Roy:):):):)
First time I heard this, I was driving down the highway. Had to pull off the road, I was laughing so hard!
Amen, ROY!!! Thank God indeed!
I went to a Roy Clark concert last weekend. What a great entertainer!!!He's as great as ever.

I met Roy Clark in person in Tulsa back in the late 70's! Never would have known him if a friend had not pointed him out to me! Roy was at a auto repair shop where my friend worked. My friend worked on Roy's vehicles, and knew him personally! OFF stage, behind the scenes...he looks & acts like *regular* people! GREAT person!
All time great song! Thanks for posting! love you Roy!
+MrRichDavid I am 62 and I can remember the very first time I heard this. All sad at the beginning (I was getting weepy) then BAM! It cracked me up. What a classic.
My favorite Country song. Also, may favorite Western song. Love the change of tempo.
+Mack Roebuck The first time I heard this I was thinking about changing stations on the radio when he changed the tempo. That had to be in the mid-80s when my wife left me and I was so relieved.
Roy Clark; who once worked with the sausage king, Jimmy Dean and later with Buck Owens, has left us. This was one of my favorites, right behind "Yesterday..." Gonna miss him. RIP, my friend.
Dislikes: 68 women have a stub from a bus ticket.
LMAQ!!!!!!!!
Ha!
I know one named Desi Rey from New Orleans that went away on the hound in 72 and I say "thank god"
LMFAO!!!!!!!! F**kin' A!
Its now 289 women who have a stub from a bus ticket. Your comment is the best ever
I love the sound of the vinyl...makes me think of my childhood...great song!
I grew up on Hee Haw and this was one of the songs my cousins and I used to sing along with when it came on the radio. My cousin Terry and I used to know all or most of the "Where,Oh Where Are You Tonight"? numbers too.
when I left my ex and got on that greyhound bus I said Thank God In Greyhound I'm going lol.
I'm going to be saying that about my Pickup when I head to Texas
lol
what did your ex say
Todays country music sent me here.
So glad to see that bus gone.
Been one of my favorite songs for what? Seems like forever! I can so envision that black smoke a rolling up!....I've ridden Greyhound only once over 50 years ago.
I love the clicks and pops. That is how music is supposed to sound. BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for posting this.
Hahahahahahaha! Oh, good Lord, this is funny and I love it! It applies both ways. I just sent this to my niece who is experiencing a miserable time with a guy whose chasing a really young skirt. He's 70. God, I hope she appreciates this tune!
Looking up your old tailpipe!!! Let the good times roll!!!
Nothing like the sound of a RECORD.
Thumbs up for cracks, pops, vinyl, and a twangy old country waltz!!
RIP,Roy Clark.
Your music brought so much entertainment to so many.
Just heard Roy's health isn't very good right now..Say a prayer for him..
+Elizabeth Roberts Dear God help Roy out. We don't want to lose him yet. Amen.
I agree with you! Losing Jim and Jon Hager so young just tore my heart out.
@@Lizmarie1965 what happened to hager bros

LOL! This song fooled me at first. What a HOOT!
