"You're Crazy For Taking The Bus" lyrics
"You're Crazy For Taking The Bus"
Well, a welfare gal and her drunk galoot
And nobody wearing a three piece suit
You meet folks this way you just don't see while flying
So, you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time
Well, a welfare gal and her drunken cuss
And Pepsi cans rolling round the bus
Add newspapers and 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 but 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?"
"Yes, and I sleep fine
So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time"

Love - "Walk Right In" Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down

John Prine - "How Lucky" Today I walked down the street I use to wander
Yeah, shook my head and made myself a bet
There was all these things that I don't think I remember
Hey, How lucky can one man get.
I bronzed my shoes...
The Felice Brothers - "Jazz On The Autobahn" The sheriff disappeared
He drove in a doomed Corvette
Helen was in the passenger seat eating melon and spitting out the seeds
Feeling happy to be alone but still turning a saxophone as cold as stone...
Billy Bragg - "There Is Power In A Union" There is power in a factory, power in the land
Power in the hands of a worker
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
There is power in a Union
Now the lessons of the past were all...
