Lyrics

Waitin’ for the Bus

[Verse 1]

Have mercy, been waiting for the bus all day

Have mercy, been waiting for the bus all day

I got my brown paper bag

And my take-home pay

[Verse 2]

Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight

Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight

Well, I'm glad just to get on and home tonight

[Instrumental Break 1:07-2:22]

[Outro]

Right on, that bus done got me back

Right on, that bus done got me back

Well, I'll be ridin' on the bus till I Cadillac
