Lyrics

You're Crazy For Taking The Bus

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well, a welfare gal and her drunk galoot

And no one wearing a three piece suit

You meet folks this way you just don't see while flyin

So you take the plane but i'll take the bus this time

Well, welfare gal and her drunkin cuss

And pepsi cans rolling around the bus

That newspaper's a grit and you've got slime

So you take the plane but i'll take the bus this time

Where it's salt lake city everybody off

Salt lake city everybody off

With elko welles and reno down the line

So you take the plane but i'll take the bus this time

But jonathan...

You're crazy for taking the bus

Well, i'm crazy, so what's the fuss

Two whole days on that stinking bus

Yes and i sleep fine

So you take the plane, i'll take the bus this time.

Go donnie, tell 'em.

Look at it this way...

They don't want my name, and i don't want their baggage claim

My guitar is seated right where i am

So you take the plane but i'll take the bus this time

Well you got the old fat guy in his old tank top

The wendover casino stop

And then of course winnemucca and welles and anaheim

So you take the plane and i'll take the bus this time.

And it's salt lake city everybody off

Salt lake city everybody off

With elko welles and reno down the line

So you take the plane, i'll take the bus this time

But jonathan...

You're crazy for taking the bus

Well, i'm crazy, so what's the fuss

Two whole days on that stinking bus

Yeah and i sleep fine

So you take the plane but i'll take the bus this time.
