Bus Driver (New studio version) - Caedmon's Call

Written by：Derek Webb

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 three thirty 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

And the sign's been gone for years

But same the people wait

'Cause they know that I'll be there

What would you say if

I told you that I won't be by today

Would you say that I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

Well I'm always there by five fifteen

And lately I've been early

'Cause 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 the work that young man does

'Cause I've never seen the inside

Of a custom refrigerator

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

What would you say if

I told you that I won't be by today

Would you say that I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

I'm just a bus driver

And what do I know

And what do I know

I wonder what they do all day

And their respective works

Suppose they give money and take money away

Still I'm just orbiting this town

With the post office my sun

And I'm circling again

And I wonder how this world would be

If I was never here to drive this bus

Around from ashbury to main

Guess this town would be the same

But with one bus' less exhaust

But that bank and retail stores

They just wouldn't be the same

But what can I see from the limited

Confines of my bus driving seat

Only me

I'm just a bus driver
