If This Bus Could Talk Songtext / Lyric

He was there when I started,

In Knoxville Tennessee

Hope none for patty and loveless,

November of ninety-three



Full of friends, mom, and uncle Butch

And the crowd was really small

He'd say I was a scared kid,

If this bus could talk



Some nights we'd dance with the devil

Some nights we'd pray to the Lord

Between vibrant passes and rubber arena glasses

He was never really bored



We were starry eyed dreamers,

Bouncing off the wall

And all the stories he could tell,

If this bus could talk






He'd sing of pool halls in Texas

And have a corn dog in county fair

Girls that we made cry,

Some crowds that didn't care



And Bobby road us down in Bama

He kept rocking through it all

All the stories he could tell,

If this bus could talk



Late night conversations,

Full of drunk philosophy

On politics and religion, football and family



The lovers that we missed,

And the lovers that we lost

All the secrets he could share

If this bus could talk



He'd seen Virginia Beach,

Caught in a hurricane

He roads I wish I never met

But he ain't naming names



We learned the code of the road at the grizzly rose

When we had a bone

All the stories he could serve

If this bus could talk



Many years of summers,

And I hope it never ends

Been down so many highways,

Full of twists and turns and bends



We caught lightning in a bottle,

Somehow we survived it all

All the stories he could tell,

If this bus could talk



As I leave the stage,

Still high from your applause

He'd tell you that I love you,

If this bus could talk

If this bus could talk,

If this bus could talk

If this bus could talk
