Caedmons Call Bus Driver Lyrics

I am a bus driver and it's four in the morning

And I'm pressing out my clothes beside my bed

Fourteen years been on the job

And with many miles behind

Still I'm up at 3:30 to make sure I'm there on time

My car gets me along just fine

To and from the station

But my castle is this Houston Metro bus

My first stop is Ashbury

The sign's been gone for years

All the same the people wait

'Cause they know that I'll be there

(Chorus)

What would you say

If I told you that I won't be by to day

Would you say that

I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

Just a bus driver

And what do I know

Just a bus driver

And what do I know

I'm always there by 5:15

And lately I've been early

Judith likes to be in early to the bank

And she gives me conversation

And a token good for riding

And she's happy all alone

And then there's Charles in retail sales

And I hope they pay him well

For all the work that young man does

'Cause I've never seen the inside of a custom refrigerator

But I know that he's the first and last one there

(repeat chorus)

And I wonder how this world would be

If I was never here

To drive this bus around from Ashbury to Main

I suppose this town would be the same

With one bus less exhaust

But that bank and retail store

They just wouldn't be the same

But what can I see

From the limited confines of my bus driving seat

Only me

And I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

Just a bus driver

And what do I know

Just a bus driver

So don't believe that

Just a bus driver

Well don't believe that

Just a bus driver

Well don't believe that

We're all just bus drivers

And it's time to go home
