Misty River Follow

Stepped on the city bus ‘bout a half past ten
Long day that began I don’t know when
Woman with a baby sat across the way
Going somewhere I cannot say.

Chorus
Who knows where this bus will lead
Just a slice of life at low speed
Steppin’ on steppin’ off each stop of the way
Just a slice of life on a typical day.

Woman and her honey come a stumblin’ in
Holding tight to the rail with a sway and a spin
Crazy laughing at his every word
Couldn’t care less that everyone heard.

Chorus

Girl in the corner just shakes her head
Tells the woman to be quiet or she’ll wind up dead
Woman yells “kids have no manners these days
If I was your mother you’d have hell to pay.”

Chorus

Driver yells “what is all the fuss?
Don’t make me stop this bus.”
Woman and the girl throw each other a look
Scared enough I hide behind my book.

So the next time you’re riding on bus #36
You never know who might be in your mix.
Tired folks, wired folks and those in between
You just gotta hope they don’t get too mean.

Chorus
