Caedmon's Call - "Bus Driver" lyrics

I am a bus driver and it's four in the morning And I'm pressing out my clothes beside my bed Still I'm up at three-thirty to make sure I'm there on time Fourteen years been on the job and with many miles behind My car gets me along just fine to and from the station My first stop is Ashbury. But my castle is this Houston Metro Bus 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' and what do I know, and what do I know, Would you say that I'm just a bus driver just a bus driver just a bus driver and what do I know' Well, I'm always there by five fifteen 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; for the work that young man does and I hope they pay him well Cause I've never seen the inside of a custom refrigerator but I know he's the first and last one there I wonder what they do all day, Suppose they give money and take money away. and their respective works. 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 but with one bus' less exhaust. if I was never here to drive this bus around from Ashbury to Main. Suppose this town would be the same they just wouldn't be the same. But that bank and retail stores, But what can I see from the limited confines of my bus driving seat' Only me.
