Bus Driver Lyrics

the bus driver knew he'd be trouble this good looking cowboy ex-con but the cowboy pleaded so the driver conceded and said "ok son you can get on" only fifteen miles out of houston there was a crack of an opening beer in the back the cowboy started drinking and giving the driver flack he said "bus driver! heh! turn the radio on me and my fellow passengers would like to hear a song the bus driver liked rhythm and blues in fact he played a little slide but it was his radio and that was a point of pride so he turned on the tannoy and said "this here is a land cruiser not a discotec the radio will remain off for the duration of you journey" well, that got the cowboy a little upset he said "bus driver, hey..." it's two hundred miles to dallas and that's too long to just sit here and watch the farms disappear listening to the motor run so come on bus driver turn the radio on the bus driver pulled off the road signalled the highway patrol requested to have a man arrested disorderly with alcohol an officer boarded the bus escorted the cowboy away hand cuffed him on the roadside in front of us and booked him for d.w.i. the sad part was the cowboy had just go out of jail that day and here he was going back just 'cause he had the balls to say "bus driver, hey! turn the radio on bus driver, hey! turn the radio on just about everybody deserves a song
