Lyrics Bus Driver - New studio version - Caedmon's Call

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
And 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 that sign's been gone for years
But say 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, well, then what do I know?
I'm just a bus driver, well, then what do I know?
I'm just a bus driver, well, then what do I know?

I'm always there by 5:15, but lately I've been early
'Cause Judith likes to be in early to the bank
And she gives me conversation and that token good for riding
Says 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 that 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, well, then what do I know?
I'm just a bus driver, well, then what do I know?
I'm just a bus driver, well, then what do I know?
Well, then what do I know?

And I wonder what they do all day at their respective work
Suppose they give money and take money away
And I'm just orbiting this town with the post office, my sign
And I'm circling again
And I wonder how this world would be
Well, if I was never here to drive this bus around
From Ashbury to Main
I guess this town would be the same
But with one bus less exhaust
And 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, well, then what do I know?
I'm just a bus driver, well, then what do I know?
I'm just a bus driver, well, then what do I know?
I'm just a bus driver, well, then what do I know?

I'm just a bus driver (I'm just a bus
Driver), well, then don't believe that
I'm just a bus driver (I'm just a bus
Driver), well, then don't believe that
I'm just a bus driver (I'm just a bus
Driver), I said don't believe that
We're all just bus drivers, and it's time to go home
