STAR SPANGLED BUSJ.D. SoutherWell, if my captain tells me That I'm makin' too much noise It's his trip, and I guess I could be walkin' But I know there's folks on board Who paid their dues in dollars They'll be damned if they ain't gonna be talkin' Ridin' on the Star Spangled Bus Gonna whip on down to Canaan And weepin' watch the beggars drink their fill You see the dirty ones are dyin' Just to shake the hand of Jesus And them that shook before are shakin' still Hey buddy, won'tcha take a seat And rest your mind a minute You're jumpin' from one side to the other Don'tcha see the weighted front Shiftin' to the inside C'mon back and help us, why don'tcha brother . . . Singin' on the Star Spangled Bus Gonna whip on down to Canaan And weepin' watch the beggars drink their fill You know the dirty ones'll be dyin' To get their feet in the River Jordan Glory halleluia Oh yes they will . . . Well, don't it strike you kinda dumb To find me sittin' shotgun Ridin' on the window of the Nation But don'tcha see that I could walk And still get there before ya See me shaking hands, congratulations . . . All the winners on the Star Spangled Bus Rollin' on into Canaan And weepin' watch the beggars drink their fill You know the dirty ones'll be drownin' Sinkin' down in the River Jordan Well glory halleluia Glory halleluia Oh, yes they will . . . |
