"The Ballad of the Old School Bus" - Keith Bryant
Track 3 of 10 on the album "Ridin' With The Legend" (2004)
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
Well, I got a big ol' raise in pay
D7
Back in 1993
A
I told myself right then
F E
We'd be going to a race in a new RV
A
I went down to Jake's RV Town
D7
Found a dream home on wheels
E N.C.
Out come a fella all dressed in plaid
N.C.
Said, "I'll give ya a heck of a deal!"
N.C. A
Well, he had me convinced
D7
It was the one I had to buy
A
'til I refigured my raise in pay
F E
Felt I was 100,000 shy
A
Well, I couldn't let my family down
D7
So I turned to plan B
E N.C.
Buford Johnson had an old school bus
E7
He said he'd sell to me
[Chorus]
D
She wasn't much to look at
A
But to me, she was a gem
D
Perfect for the wife and kids
A
And going to Watkins Glen
D7 E
Racing flags, platform top
A D
And a cooler just for me
A
And a coat hanger antenna
E N.C. A
For my portable TV
[Verse 2]
A
Well, we went to the track
D7
And I was feeling proud of our old bus
A
When a great, big, brand new motorhome
F E
Pulled in beside of us
A
Well, it was plain to see that it had all
D7
The luxuries of home
E N.C.
An air conditioner and an indoor john
N.C.
And even a cellular phone
N.C. A
But I didn't let that bother me
D7
I had more than I'd ever wished
A
And then I happened to notice
F E
My neighbor had a satellite dish
A
A ten foot screen, an ice machine
D7
A recliner and a Frigidaire
E N.C.
I almost felt ridiculous
E7
And then I said, "Well, I don't care!"
[Chorus]
D
'cause mine wasn't much to look at
A
But to me, she was a gem
D
Perfect for the wife and kids
A
And going to Watkins Glen
D7 E
Racing flags, platform top
A D
And a cooler just for me
A
And a coat hanger antenna
E N.C. A7
For my portable TV
[Bridge]
D A
Ha, ha, ha, ha
D E7
What time's Indy come on? Yeah
D A
Ah, right after the race
D
Ah, cool
A E7 A
[Verse 3]
A N.C.
Next thing I know, I was going nuts
D7 N.C.
My driver, he'd took the lead
A N.C.
Well, I was yelling and screaming
N.C. F E
My neighbor came over with a thumbs-up sign for me
A N.C.
We hugged and danced and jumped around
D7 N.C.
And shared the ultimate high
E N.C.
You should've seen us two grown men
N.C.
With tears in our eyes
N.C. A
Now, we've become the best of friends
D7
Ever since that race
A
And every year since then
F E
We'd meet in the same old place
A
Now the moral of the story is at the track
D7
We're all equal, you and me
E7
Whether you're driving a brand new motorhome
E7 N.C. A
Or a school bus RV
[Chorus]
D
She wasn't much to look at
A
But to me, she was a gem
D
Perfect for the wife and kids
A
And going to Watkins Glen
D7 E7
Racing flags, platform top
A D
And a cooler just for me
A
And a coat hanger antenna
E7
To watch the whole dang race
A
On my portable TV
