Ride This Bus Lyrics

I was born in a small town

Lived life in a play

Never had a chance to think

Or act in my own way

Got a job in a factory

After I left high school

Did my best to get along

Trying to be cool

But now I

Ride this bus

To find what I might see

Went searching for something, somebody

But all I found was me

Packed my bags one evening

Before the sun went to bed

Stuffed my cash in my wallet

And thoughts into my head

Paid my fare and sat down

Wondering where the road might leads

Watched the lights of the houses

And wondered was I free

So I

Ride this bus

To find what I might see

Went searching for something, somebody

But all I found was me

Met a girl in Tulsa

Who told me we all are lost

I said it wasn't true

Freedom has a cost

She looked into my eyes

Then looked away

She said that may be true

But the price was too much to pay

Got some odd jobs in Memphis

Had to make my fare

Pushed a broom with some young guys

Who liked to talk about girls and swear

Said that life was rotten

But still they had to stay

Between smokes they told me

That they'd never break away

Still I

Ride this bus

To find what I might see

Went searching for something, somebody

But all I found was me
