The Last Greyhound
Alecia Nugent

Made her breakfast and watched her pack

She's leaving home on a one way track

No point in asking why, a bird was made to fly

Eighteen years and fade to black, one-way ticket and no way back

A cloud of smoke and two red tail lights fading out of sight


She caught the last grey dog, leaving for the first time in her life

She caught the last greyhound leaving town tonight


She called to say she's doing fine

It ain't all she had in mind, seems like all she wants to know

is how are things back home

though she's been around the world deep inside's a small town girl

everything she hoped to find was right there all the time


I got a message today

She just called to say


She caught the last grey dog, coming home never felt so right

she caught the last greyhound leaving town tonight

she caught the last greyhound leaving town tonight
