Bus Driver Caedmon's Call
Bus Driver Intimate Portrait
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

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

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

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, I'm circling again
And I wonder how this world would be if I was never there
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, so don't believe that (repeat)
We're all just bus drivers and it's time to go home
