Bus Route Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]This is where we dropped off
the prettiest little girl
Same grade as me
[D]Tried to kiss her once in the aisle of the bus
And she walked right over me
[G]Face-down in the gum on the floor
I was hopin' that she'd change her mind
[D]But I swear as she walked down the stairs
She didn't even wave goodbye
[A]Didn't even wave good[D]bye

[Verse 2]
[D]Ray Dixon didn't take no lip
He'd kick you right off the bus
[D]Stop by your house
on the way out of the holler
And tell your momma where you was
[G]He didn't need no driver's aid
To keep a bunch of kids in line
[D]All he needed was a glare in the mirror
And a paddle that he carved from pine
[A]Blisterin' punk kids a[D]live, aw, blisterin'

[Solo 1]
[G][G][D][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]This is where we dropped off
the prettiest little girl
Same grade as me
I [D]held onto hope for eight long years
And by the time that I turned sixteen
[G]I wasn't awkward,
I was a real smooth talker
With my very own pickup truck
[D]I'd take her home
and if her parents weren't around
She'd bring me in and give me some
[A]Bring me in and give me [D]some

[Solo 2]
[G][G][D][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Safe to say nowadays ol' Ray
Coudln't keep a route very long
[D]And I'm glad the little girl's dad
Never found out what was goin' on
[G]I know he'd've kill me in a minute
And he wouldn't have left no trace
[D]Hogs'll eat about anything you give 'em
And they don't let nothin' go to waste
[A]Don't let nothin' go to [D]waste

[Outro 1]
[D]This is where we dropped off
the prettiest little girl
Same grade as me
