 (Intro: )
One  more Greyhound running tonight
Biloxi,  Mississippi  bound
 But I ain't ridin', let it go on by
 I think  I'll just hang  around downtown
 Went to my baby's  house,  didn't telephone
 Strange car in the driveway,  she was not alone
 Now I'm out on the street, hurting  down in my bones
 Somebody's  been robbin'  my honeycomb
 (Same chord progression in the guitar solos)
 I can't look back, no memories
 If that's the way she wants it, that's how's it gonna be
 I never was one to keep hanging on
 If the woman don't want you just leave her alone
 But I think about it, and it tears me down
 I find a little bar with a 7 and a Crown
 I'm a dangerous man, drinkin' alone
 And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb
 Daylight finds me out on the road
 Hard rain falling but I don't feel the cold
 I got a fire inside and it's burnin' deep
 I got to let that woman and her new lover be
 But he better not play you for a fool
 I'd hurt somebody that would do that to you
 I still got my feelings, they're burnin' strong
 Somebody's been robbin my honeycomb
 And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb

I'd hurt somebody that would do that to you
I still got my feelings, they're burnin' strong
Somebody's been robbin my honeycomb
And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb
