The Bus Driver (original)

A bus driver runs over the only passenger he ever connected with. The end.

Lyrics:
You wanted feedback
so you bought a guitar (and)
she only listened
cause you needed an audience.

come on,
the words you say are meant to strum
along
but you haven't got it yet.

you will.
it may take a little more time
to become
who you need
now matter how in love you seem.

The crowded world motions
get in
to the whirl
within
(but I was never one of them)
the loudest girl
voiced her opinion
but no, she never raised her hand.

you take their tickets
like a vending machine
they try to press you
but you're sold out of meaning
harm
you're nice
but they would never guess you lost
your wife
the space you need will come around.

it will.
it may take a little disgrace
to find
what you seek
take a right turn as wide as you need

the crowded world motions
get in
to the whirl
within
(but i was never one of them)
the quiet boy
voiced his opinion
but no one heard him out.

the bus idled a while
pulling in
to the child
they said
"I thought I felt the tires spin."
the driver shed a tear for every year he watched him sit
and draw new faces for the wind.

your golfer hat has never been to the green
hey joseph bishop could i call you joe it has a ring
to it
I took the first trip I saw
and missed
you said just stay on and I'll live

in hope
though it may take a little more time
just to get
back home
from the front seat the world is alive.

the bus idled a while
pulling in
to the child
they said
"I thought I felt the tires spin."
the driver shed a tear for every year he watched him sit
and draw new faces for the wind.

the bus pulled out a mile
from where i live
let him drive
I said
cause nothing goes how you expect
he must've woken up along the wrong side of the bed
as she said "I made you bacon and eggs."

One-fifty-seven in your yellowed zeppelin
floating on smoke, look at the clouds below them
sing
along
the wheels we trust hold tight to rusted rods
all through the town they raise us up

in light
of the bookends we tie to our eyes.
what we know
is derived
from assignments in the dusty old aisle.

the bus pulled out a mile
from where i live
let him drive
I said
cause nothing goes how you expect
he must've woken up along the wrong side of the bed
as she said "I made you bacon and eggs."

the bus idled a while
pulling in
to the child
they said
i thought i felt the tires spin.
the driver shed a tear for every year he watched him sit
and draw new faces for the wind.

The colder days became
the ones I wished
could exist
for the hell
they put him in for what he did.
at show and tell i held a medal of the friend he missed
as it hung
from my American wrist.

wow thats a lot of lyrics man

[inthearmsofsleep]

Yeah, I would've added more but for obvious reasons I didn't (it'd get boring and repetitive).

[TwistedGreen]

That was awesome, the music and lyrics were SUPERB.

Any way I could get a tab or chord chart to learn this?

I would really appreciate it.

[inthearmsofsleep]

It would take a while to type up tabs, but it's played with a capo on 3rd fret... main riff starts on E10. You can see the way it's played in the video for reference. I'd like to tab out all of my songs someday but it just takes so much time.

[Halooverlord]

that is badass I know how hard it is to write a song that long.

[lakeofkeego187]

thats just amazing

[TwistedGreen]

That's true, it's just so much easier for others lol.

[vsalazarsoares]

Nice voice and nice music.

If you could be interested to listen my acoustic guitar musics on youtube listen "Nostalgia Salazar" or "Relapsos do Tempo"....i just compose instrumental because i did not have voice (i have one terrible one)!!!!
