• Bus Driver - Caedmon's Call
• Bus Driver - Tim Barry
• Bus Driver - Assembly Of Dust

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

Someone go and tell the bus driver that I quit
Someone go and tell the bus driver that I quit
Tell the boys in the band that I'm just tired of this shit
Tell 'em that I'm long gone
Someone tell my booking agent I said thank you for the tour
Someone tell my booking agent I said thank you for the tour
But my throat's all scratched up and I'm tired of these same three chords
Tell her that I'm long gone
Long gone (long gone!)
Long gone (long gone!)
Tell 'em all that I'm long gone
Tell 'em go on without me they don't need my songs
Tell 'em that I'm long gone
Someone go and tell my tour manager that he sucks
Someone go and tell Tim Shaw that he sucks
Tell him keep all my money and good luck paying for the bus
Tell him that I'm long gone
Tell the merch girl slinging shirts that I said thank you much
Tell the merch girl slinging shirts that I said thank you much
Tell her empty her tip jar and run cause we ain't paying her enough
Tell her that I'm long gone
Long gone (long gone!)
Long gone (long gone!)
Tell 'em all that I'm long gone
Tell 'em go on without me they don't need my songs
Tell 'em that I'm long gone
Long gone (long gone!)
Long gone (long gone!)
Tell 'em all that I'm long gone
Tell 'em go on without me they don't need my songs

On a dark and cold and windy night
A man left from his home
Said I’m going to find my fortune father,
Leave well enough alone.
He took off on a silver steed.
Ain’t never gonna look on back
Slept down by the water’s edge
By a railroad track.
{chorus}
Never let ’em go, never get away
Never let ’em go, never get away -
This I share with you.
Never let ’em go, never get away
Never let ’em go, never get away.
Some time has passed, some thoughts were thought
Some things will never change
Sometimes we move to find direction
Sometimes we stay the same
And on a cold and dreary evening
He woke to find a dream
Sang a song from sacred spaces
The best you ever seen
{chorus}
Seems to me in modest interest of self and betterment
The dreams you have you follow freely
And find yourself content
The man whose self, the man whose secrets
I share with you in part
Is following the road less taken
He’s following his heart
{chorus}
In times of doubt and misconception
That’s when we tend to run
Sippin’ on some Tennesse whiskey
Back turned towards the sun
And on a cold and dreary evening,
That’s where you’ll find your man
Lookin for a new horizon
