Caedman's Call - Bus Driver

I am a bus driver
And it's 4 in the morning
And I'm pressing out my clothes beside my bed
14 years been on the job
With many miles behind
Still I'm up at 3:30 to make sure I'm there on time
'Cause my car gets me along just fine
To and from the station
But my castle is this Houston Metro bus
The first stop is Ashbury
And the sign's been gone for years
But all the 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
What do I know
Just a bus driver
And what do I know
Just a bus driver
And what do I know

Well I'm always there by 5:15
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 refridgerator
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
And what do I know
Just a bus driver
And what do I know
Just a bus driver
And what do I know
And what do I know

I wonder what they do all day
At 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
Suppose this town would be the same
With one bus less exhaust
But Bacon retail store
Just wouldn't be the same

What can I see
From the limited confines of my bus driving seat
Holding me
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
Just a bus driver
And what do I know
I'm 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
