keith bryant – the ballad of the old school bus lyrics

[verse 1]
well, i got a big ol’ raise in pay
back in 1993
i told myself right then
we’d be going to a race in a new rv
i went down to jake’s rv town
found a dream home on wheels
out come a fella all dressed in plaid
said, “i’ll give ya a heck of a deal”
well, he had me convinced
it was the one i had to buy
’til i refigured my raise in pay
felt i was 100,000 shy
well, i couldn’t let my family down
so i turned to plan b
buford johnson had an old school bus
he said he’d sell to me
[chorus]
she wasn’t much to look at
but to me, she was a gem
perfect for thе wife and kids
and going to watkins glen
racing flags, platform top
and a cooler just for mе
and a coat hanger antenna
for my portable tv

[verse 2]
well, we went to the track
and i was feeling proud of our old bus
when a great, big, brand new motorhome
pulled in beside of us
well, it was plain to see that it had all
the luxuries of home
an air conditioner and an indoor john
and even a cellular phone
but i didn’t let that bother me
i had more than i’d ever wished
and then i happened to notice
my neighbor had a satellite dish
a ten foot screen, an ice machine
a recliner and a frigidaire
i almost felt ridiculous
and then i said, “well, i don’t care!”
[chorus]
’cause mine wasn’t much to look at
but to me, she was a gem
perfect for the wife and kids
and going to watkins glen
racing flags, platform top
and a cooler just for me
and a coat hanger antenna
for my portable tv

[bridge]
ha, ha, ha, ha
what time’s indy come on?
yeah
ah, right after the race
ah, cool

[verse 3]
next thing i know, i was going nuts
my driver, he’d took the lead
well, i was yelling and screaming
my neighbor came over
with a thumbs+up sign for me
we hugged and danced and jumped around
and shared the ultimate high
you should’ve seen us two grown men
with tears in our eyes
now, we’ve become the best of friends
ever since that race
and every year since then
we’d meet in the same old place
now the moral of the story is at the track
we’re all equal, you and me
whether you’re driving a brand new motorhome
or a school bus rv
[chorus]
she wasn’t much to look at
but to me, she was a gem
perfect for the wife and kids
and going to watkins glen
racing flags, platform top
and a cooler just for me
and a coat hanger antenna
to watch the whole dang race
on my portable tv
