Thank God and Greyhound

Thank God and Greyhound is a country song by Roy Clark.

The song is notable for its dual tempo. In the first half of the song, the tempo is slow (almost like a funeral dirge) as the singer talks of his relationship with a verbally abusive, reckless spending partner, who one day announces without warning or explanation that she is leaving.

As the partner gets on a Greyhound bus and leaves, the tempo shifts to a fast, upbeat one as the singer sings "thank God and Greyhound you're gone", feeling relieved that she is out of his life for good.
